CLASS ASSIGNMENTS FOR 2007-2008
The Nimitz staff has begun planning for the 2007-2008 school year, including initial drafts of class lists. Student placement is done with careful consideration of the following factors:
The teachers and I will work together to make class assignments. Decisions we make with regard to your child's future placement reflect our best judgment as to where individual children will be the most successful. While we do not accept requests for specific teachers, you are welcome and encouraged to share with us any information you feel would be helpful in determining your child's placement. If you are interested in giving us information that will help with the placement of your child, you may pick up a 'Parental Input' form in the office. The last date to submit this form is Friday, May 25th. Class lists will be posted after 5:00 p.m. on August 22nd, the day before school begins. -Dale Jones, Principal ENROLLMENT FOR NEXT YEAR
Please make sure to return the enrollment form being sent home
in this week's blue folder. It is very important that we receive a form from each family regarding your enrollment plans for next year. This allows the school district and our school to determine our enrollment numbers for the next school year. All forms must be returned. If we do not receive this information from your family, we will be contacting you. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
