| Class Placement for 2019-2020 It's hard to believe it is already time to start thinking about next school year! As this school year draws to a close, teachers and other staff members work together to ensure each child’s placement for the following year will be one that will help them grow and succeed. Parent requests for a specific teacher for his or her student will not be honored; however, you may share information about your student’s learning style, their areas of strength, and/or their areas of growth that you feel should be taken into consideration for placement. If you would like to provide input regarding your child’s placement for the 19-20 school year, please email me at cmmetzger@henrico.k12.va.us or send in a written request to my attention. Input must be shared by Friday, May 31, 2019 for it to be considered in the scheduling process. Thank you! Mrs. Metzger
