Teacher Assignments 26/27 School Year

As we begin planning and preparing for the upcoming school year, one of our top priorities is creating balanced, positive, and successful classrooms for all of our students.

Our dedicated staff spends a great deal of time looking at each child’s unique learning style, personality, and academic needs to find the perfect classroom match. However, we also value your input as partners in your child’s education.

While I cannot make any absolute guarantees due to scheduling, class size limits, and staffing, please know that I will do my absolute best to honor your requests whenever possible.

Thank you for your trust, partnership, and support as we work to set every student up for a fantastic year ahead!

Teacher Assignments for the 2026-2027 school year will not be included on 4th quarter report cards. Families will be notified of teacher assignments at the end of August.
