TLES Class Placement Input for the 2024-2025 School YearAs we make class placements, we consider many factors including individual student information, teacher input, and social relationships. Every class will have a blend of children with diverse needs, personalities, and learning interests. Due to the many factors we must consider in creating classroom placements, including the reassignment of some teachers to a different grade level and the hiring of new teachers, requests for a specific teacher cannot be honored. Please complete this optional form if you have information you would like us to consider by Friday, May 17th. Please complete a separate form for each child.
Attend Today, Achieve Tomorrow. We All Belong Here!In FCPS, we all belong. From the first day of school, to the last day of school, every child matters. If your student is having a hard time finishing the year strong and attending school, please contact a trusted adult at the school—a teacher, counselor, or administrator. Visit FCPS’ website for more attendance resources.
