FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Elementary Student Placement for 2021-2022
I very much appreciate your awareness of and cooperation with the Vestal Central School Districtrsquos
practices regarding parent requests for student placement for the 2020-2021 school year
The establishment of classroom rosters is a complex process It involves professional dialogue between
African Road staff on a wide variety of factors including achievement data collected over the course of the previous year(s) These factors include but are not limited to (in no particular order) the
bull balancing of gender in any one classroom
bull balancing of studentsrsquo abilities and needs across multiple developmental social and academic areas
bull design of student groupings to maximize effective instructional practices being implemented by staff
(balanced literacy cooperative learning technology integration assessment structures etc)
bull design of student groupings to maximize the use of support staff including academic intervention service providers special education providers and paraprofessionals
Given these considerations we are unable to accept parent requests for a specific teacher It is the
principalrsquos responsibility to finalize all classroom rosters If there are extenuating circumstances that would be necessary to know in placing your child please submit this information in writing to me by May 27 2021 Written information will be reviewed and shared with relevant staff members during the placement process
Classroom assignments will be mailed home in mid-August Please understand that factors such as an
enrollment shift in the summer or staff changes could result in a change in your childrsquos class assignment
prior to the opening of school
Please accept my sincere thanks for all your feedback and support this year Irsquom honored to be a part of the
tradition of excellence here in Vestal and I am looking forward to the start of another great school year
Sincerely
Meghan Stenta

The students in Mrs Bogarts Mrs Lanzs and Mrs Turners room got to witness the eruption of Mount Lanzius This model volcano had been dormant for over a year and was just waiting to blow its top with some diet coke and mentos A good time was had by all
