Dear Northwest Families,
Can you believe we are already preparing for the 2024-2025 school year? Where has the time gone? It is this time of year that we begin to determine teacher grade level placement as well as student placement in individual classes. All Howell elementary schools use a process that allows parents to provide the school information about their child that will assist in the placement of their child through the use of a Placement Consideration Form (PCF). The form asks that you describe the educational setting, (academics, behavioral and physical) that you would like to have for your children without naming a particular teacher. It is important to be as detailed as possible stating the type of classroom environment that would most benefit your child. Example: structured, relaxed, hands-on, challenging, quiet, teacher-directed, etc. Please note: When a specific teacher name is written on the form, the form will not be accepted or considered.
We will use these forms to support our process, but remember that your child’s current teacher knows the learning style that best suits your child. We work hard each spring to properly place students to ensure a successful year of growth. Thank you for your support in this process.
PCFs will be available at the school office on Monday, April 1st, and will be accepted through Friday, April 11th. You may also complete the form electronically HERE.
Yours in education,
Craig Munro
Principal
