Dear Churchill Road families, Since winter break, our students have been “rockstars” getting back into their daily routines! We are so proud of them. In the past few weeks,
Looking ahead,
Sincerely, Mrs. Pierson-Barr and Mr. Kilpatrick In This Week's Issue
Parent Input for the 2026-2027 School YearAs we begin planning for the upcoming school year, our staff collaborates regarding student placements. A variety of factors such as student personalities, friendships, and academic abilities are considered as we create our new classes. Other factors impacting the decision-making process of student class assignments are new student enrollments and teachers moving to a new assignment. Churchill Road families may assist in this process by sharing insights. Please note the following when providing information. We do not accept requests for specific teachers for the upcoming grade placement. This includes hints that reference specific teachers. While all feedback is reviewed and considered, we cannot guarantee placement or non-placement with any other specific students. We do our best to create a positive learning year for your child. Please provide your input by submitting this form as it will ensure we have your request. Please do not email us additional information. Completion of the form is optional: however, the deadline for any correspondence is Wednesday, February 25, 2026 at 4 PM. Thank you for your input.
