25-26 School Year

2025-2026 Class List parent Input- due 2/14

Soon, Wheeler will begin the process of creating class lists for the 2025-2026 school year. When we create class lists, our primary objective is to provide positive experiences for all students. We work to create balanced classrooms that address different personalities, abilities, special needs, learning styles, peer relations and balance boys, girls, etc.

Our school team (teachers, admin, specialists, counselors, interventionists, etc.) spends a great deal of time creating class lists. The teachers know the children in the school environment and have unique insights into their social, emotional, behavioral and academic needs. In short we feel we have a strong system in place for determining placements.

While we DO NOT accept specific teacher requests by name - we do want to provide parents with an opportunity to communicate any special needs and considerations. Please do not feel obligated to send us information unless you feel it will enhance our ability to make the best placement for your child.

However, if you do choose to offer input please do so by sending Mr. Wunderlich an email (gjwunderlich@mpsomaha.org) or letter by February 14th stating the requested considerations. Administration will then review the information and send available dates/times of meeting options (if needed) prior to the end of February.
