Oakdale staff spends a great deal of time placing students in class groups for the next school year. Our primary concern is to establish productive, heterogeneous classrooms where each child can be provided with the opportunity to be successful and challenged to do their best work. In doing this, several factors are considered:
- Learning style of the students.
- Consideration of all educational factors: academic and social skills are the primary determinants.
- Heterogeneous groupings in all classrooms. Factors to consider include ethnic groups, gender, academic achievement, learning styles, instructional levels, and discipline concerns.
- Avoidance of possible personality problems.
- Equal class sizes.
- Recommendations of this year’s teacher.
If you would like to provide the school with information regarding your child’s educational, social, and emotional needs that may help with placement decisions, please download the form below. You may also call the school secretary at 702-8500 or stop by the office to request the ”Student Placement Form”.
All forms are due back in the office no later than Monday, April 28th. The office will be open until 5:00 P.M. to accept any last minute forms.
