2024-2025 Student Placement/ Teacher Request Policy
As we begin planning for the 2024-2025 school year and developing classroom rosters, we want to share an opportunity for parents/guardians to provide important input that may help us in making the best decision concerning classroom placement for your child.
Each year, considerable time and thoughtful consideration are invested in matching every student at Mauldin Elementary with a teacher and classroom environment conducive to their social and academic growth. Our classrooms are intentionally composed to reflect the diversity of our society, considering various factors such as gender, ethnicity, ability levels, and the individual social and academic needs of our students.
Additionally, our school administration carefully weighs parental input concerning any special circumstances or needs that should be factored into the assignment of student placements. If you believe your child possesses such circumstances or needs, we welcome your input. Please adhere to the guidelines outlined below when submitting a letter:
Acceptable Letters Include:
· Academic concerns or learning difficulties including testing from a psychologist and/or doctor that may require special academic accommodations within the classroom. (Required documentation filed in student’s permanent record).
· Documented medical needs or physical impairments that may require accommodations to assist student in being able to access academics. ((Required documentation filed in student’s permanent record or with school nurse).
· Social or emotional issues that dramatically affect the learning environment.
· Request for a particular teaching style that would best match your child’s learning style.
Unacceptable Letters Include:
· Requests for specific teachers or the exclusion of specific teachers by name. Our school prides itself on employing exceptional educators, all dedicated to fostering student academic growth. Therefore, such requests will not be considered.
· Request for an “experienced” teacher or “first year teacher” as all teachers are highly qualified to meet the needs of students.
· Requesting for a student to be placed in the same class as their friend unless there is a need for special consideration.
Parent request may be submitted to the principal, Jennifer Dodds, at jdodds@greenville.k12.sc.us , or delivered to the school. Requests must be submitted by Friday June 2, 2023. Letters will not be accepted after June 2. Final decisions on student placement rest with the school administration. Families will be notified in August about classroom placement for the 2024-2025 school year.
