Dr. Bryan McCabe 5/07/08 May 14 is the Day of the Teacher Next Wednesday is designated as California’s Day of the Teacher. The day is a great time to let your child’s teacher know how much you appreciate her/his great work. The Student Council will make sure the teachers’ day gets off to a good start by preparing and serving our staff a special breakfast. Board Meeting on May 12 The next regular session of the Cold Spring School Board is Monday, May 12. The Board meets in the school auditorium at 6:00 PM.

Policy and Procedure for Student Placement Before the end of the year, the staff and I will develop tentative classes for next fall. The Cold Spring School staff has the professional responsibility to look carefully at each child during the placement process and to make decisions regarding placement for the following year. We set up heterogeneous classes that are balanced in terms of: special needs, social skills, maturity level, academic achievement, gender and any other factors which affect group cohesiveness. (Board Policy 6152) Process: In June, the current grade level teachers meet with the principal to develop tentative classes for next fall. We discuss each child's strengths and weaknesses, make placements, and balance classes according to the above criteria. This is a careful, difficult, and lengthy process. Parent Preferences: It is not necessary for parents to express preferences as to placement. However, parents who wish to provide information about their children that would be helpful in making placement decisions, may do so in writing to the Superintendent/Principal. Please remember that it is the responsibility of the professional staff to make the best placement for each Cold Spring student, and it is impossible to guarantee that children will be placed as the parents requested. Parent input for placement must be received by Friday, June 6, 2008. Notification of Classes: The school will send letters in late August notifying parents of their children’s placements. Class lists will be posted on the Friday, August 29, 2008. |
