We are excited to start planning our classrooms for the next school year! Windsor Charter Academy teachers and administrators are responsible for placing all children within a classroom learning environment that best suits their academic, social, and behavioral needs. We strive to create and maintain learning environments that are structured, nurturing, caring, supportive, and challenging for every child!
Determining which classroom a student is placed in is complex, and many factors impact the decision-making process. Our staff takes classroom placement very seriously. We assure you that each grade-level team, with the assistance of specialists, counselors, and administration, takes significant time, effort, and care to develop class rosters that result in offering all children a quality educational experience. Our staff takes the following factors into consideration:
Information provided by the current teacher
The program needs of the child
A balanced gender ratio
A balance of academic achievement levels
Social and behavioral needs and the compatibility of other students in the classroom
Independent work habits and leadership skills
Student enrollment numbers and staffing assignments are not finalized until August, and these variables may continue to shift between now and the start of the upcoming school year. As a result, beginning this spring, we will be making some adjustments to how classroom assignments are communicated to students and families.
Class lists will not be shared in May, as has been done in previous years. However, our cherished tradition of “Move Up Day” will still take place on the last day of school, May 22, 2025, with a new format. During this event, students will have the opportunity to meet the entire team of teachers who will be supporting them in the 2025-2026 school year. This will allow students not only to connect with their potential homeroom teacher but also to get acquainted with other teachers they may have throughout the day for subjects such as WIN, math, and more.
Families can expect to receive an email in late July with their child's classroom placement. This timeline allows our staff adequate time to finalize rosters before distribution. As in previous years, students and families will also have the opportunity to meet their homeroom teachers during Back-to-School Night in August.
We are excited for a successful and smooth start to the 2025-2026 school year!
