It is our desire to best meet the needs of each child at Lake Harriet Community School. Therefore, families will be invited to share information about their child’s physical needs, social/emotional issues and/or medical concerns. This information will be considered along with a number of other factors when assigning students to a classroom. These factors for each classroom include boy/girl ratio, racial/ethnic ratio, maintaining a spread of achievement ranges, balance of students receiving special education services, and patterns of student social interaction.

Other factors considered in this balancing process are student mobility and concerns about specific student relationships that have come to the attention of the sending team during the current year. An effort is made to have each child move along with at least one friend. Depending on the circumstances, certain children may or may not be separated.

IF YOU CHOOSE TO COMPLETE THIS FORM,
PLEASE DO SO BY FRIDAY, APRIL 19, 2013

Please be timely in returning this form as it takes many hours to classify students into classrooms. Forms will not be accepted after midnight, April 19, 2013. 
Paper forms will be available in the school offices.

Other notes:

• Please remember, this form is not a request for a teacher. It is to inform us about your child’s learning style and also to list some of their friends so we can try to have one friend in their classroom. 
• This process is for students entering grades 1-5. This process does not pertain to incoming kindergarteners or middle graders, as it really does not work well with the middle grades computer system for schedules.
• For twins, please fill out one for each child
• For 2nd-grade-going-into-3rd-grade, please use the Lower Campus form.
