As we begin to organize for September, it is important that we have the most up to date information from all our families. Please help us!
If you know that your child will not be returning to JRPS for the 2018-19 school year for any reason (except for Grade 8’s graduating to Grade 9), please inform the school office in writing as soon as possible.
Part of our September organization process is determining classes for next fall.
When we build classes, the following criteria are taken into consideration:
Class sizes consistent with Ministry and Board Guidelines
A range of performance levels within each class
Gender balance
Placement of ESL or Special Education students that facilitates resource or withdrawal programs
Promoting positive social relationships while minimizing unproductive associations
Matching learning and teaching styles whenever possible
If there is information regarding your child of which you feel we are not currently aware, and which would be pertinent to placement decisions, please advise Ms. Patrick and the homeroom teacher in writing by May 25, 2018
Please be aware that we do not take specific requests for teachers as part of this process.
As every year, due to Ministry class size restrictions, homeroom classes are tentative until the end of September.
