Dear Moretown School Families;

Happy Spring!   As spring goes at the school, our classes are in the process of completing their annual state assessments, the school gardens are coming back to life and our school community is focused on closing the year on a positive note. Although our focus is on closing this school year, we need to begin planning and preparation for the 2018-19 school year. We hope the following information will help with preparing for next year.

Each year the staff and I meet, individually, and in teams to determine class placement for the following school year.  We examine a number of variables in trying to design an optimal learning environment for all students given the constraints of our operating budget.  The academic strengths and challenges of each student are considered in conjunction with their social, emotional and behavioral characteristics. Our objective is to create a classroom family that functions well academically and socially.  We are very grateful to the Moretown and HUUSD community for supporting our school.

We will have a Moretown School step up day in June where students will get an idea of what next year will feel and look like.   We will be sending home a letter in June regarding placement decisions. If you would like to add any information to this process please drop a note to your current classroom teacher so that we can add this to our process.

We hope everyone has a great last few weeks of  the school year. We look forward to our continued working together as a learning community.  

If you have questions please contact me at dpierson@wwsu.org.  

Have a great weekend.

Please let us know if you have any questions.
Thanks

Duane Pierson
