6th Grade Appeals Process
For current parents/guardians of 5th-graders who are appealing their placement into 6th-grade classes for next year:
Please complete the following form and identify the placement you wish to appeal on your child's behalf.
We will begin the appeal process in April. You will not be contacted until after the Appeal window closes- May 1st of the previous school year.
Please understand that each child will be reviewed extensively, and we will not make any placement decisions lightly. To make sure we are giving an appropriate amount of time to review each child, this process may take anywhere from 4-6 weeks.
Once a decision is made by the District, a parent/guardian will be contacted by phone and a formal letter.
Someone will reach out if we need any documentation beyond what is being submitted for this form. Please do not send anything else.
For any questions, please reach out to your child's current school administration.
