Classes for this Fall-Most of our students will already know which class they are in for the upcoming school year as there is only one possibility. However there will be a few exceptions listed below:

-KB students from last year will be in the 1B class this year.

-KC students from last year will be in the 1C class this year.

-New Kindergarten students will be contacted at some point between August 25th and September 1st by their teacher. They will find out who their teacher is at this time and also find out information about their start to the year.

Cohorts:As you may have heard, classes will be arranged in cohorts this year to minimize the number of contacts that children will have throughout their day. This means that some classes will be grouped with other classes that they can interact with for things like dismissal at the end of the day. We will be sharing much more info to follow about cohorts in the coming days but for now we at least wanted to give you the groupings:

Cohort D1 = 1C and 3B

Cohort D2 = 2B and 3A/4A

Cohort D3 = KC, KA, 2A, KB

Cohort U1 = 5A/6A and 6B

Cohort U2 = KD, 1A and 1B

Cohort U3 = 4B and 5B
