The placement of students into classrooms is an important
process. It is the belief of the Rochester School District and the
Folwell Professional Learning Community that children receive the most benefit
from their educational experience within a balanced setting representative of
the greater community in which they live. Placement teams, consisting of classroom
teachers, administrators and other appropriate staff members, make placements
that will maximize the intellectual, psychological and social development of
each child and of classroom groups.
We believe our professional staff members are most familiar with
each child in the classroom setting and are in the best position to recommend
individual student/teacher placements. By using the following practices,
Folwell staff seek to consider individual needs of the student, provide
balanced classrooms, and insure all our children are being given equal
consideration in the placement process.
A placement team, considers each child’s educational needs, as
well as psychological and social needs. The number of children, such as
boys and girls by teacher, as well as the representation of total community in
each class are considered when building class communities. The team
will make a recommendation as to the placement of each child, within a given
grade level, for the subsequent school year. The placement teams will
consist of the sending and receiving classroom teachers and may include
administration and other professional staff. ‘
If you feel there are specific individual needs and would like
this information taken into consideration when making classroom placements, please contact the office manager to request a meeting with Wendy
J. Moritz, building principal before May 4, 2019.
Placement of your child will be done through a caring and professional
process and shared next fall.
Thank you!
