How did we make our classes?
You may wonder how your child is placed into their classroom. We promise you; the Farragut Team takes this very seriously. We start this process with a staff meeting led by our Inclusion Team. We discuss the importance of making each class at our school balanced with a diversity of learning styles, personalities and academic strengths. Last year's teachers then meet to discuss student progress and create a class A, class B, class C, and for some, a class D for next year's teachers.
A few weeks later, the outgoing teachers meet with the incoming teachers to discuss which of them might fit best with each of these classes. Our SPED teachers and support staff also weigh in with their expertise. Over the summer, some students move, and new students enroll, and we then work with incoming teachers to keep our classes balanced. We hope you trust our process and are excited for the journey ahead. We know our Foxes are!
No matter what it is important to remember:
Have an open mind. Each placement is made with many reasons in mind, with intention, and to best support your child.
Meet the teacher with an open mind and voice your concern. Address specifics in the conversation.
Understand that in elementary school we're preparing children to be able to adapt to multiple teachers with different personalities. This is what they’ll see in middle school and beyond and it is an excellent opportunity to learn and grow important social skills.
Establish a communication plan with the teacher to ensure updates on areas of concern.
Most importantly, understand that we all have the same goal; for your child to receive a supportive education, in a safe, nurturing environment, where everyone can grow in their fullest potential.
