Class Building for 2022-2023 School Year

Posted May 2, 2022

The planning process for 2022-2023 school has started. Over the next couple of months the staff at the school will spend many hours developing class lists based on a detailed set of criteria, focused on student learning and success for the following year. We take this process very seriously and do our best to plan for the success of all of our students at JAS.

As in the past we wanted to remind families that we do not take requests for class placements. In this complex process we take the following into account.

  • learning partners
  • ability groups – learning groups
  • needs of students
  • separating some students due to relationship issues depending on the number of classrooms.
  • balance of gender/ non binary
  • behavioural needs/ dynamics between students
  • combined classrooms are not streamed (for example, a ⅔ split is not high achieving grade 2’s and low achieving grade 3’s) – combined class resource

Thank you for your understanding and trusting the JAS staff as we build classes for the next school year.
