Dear CW Families, Wow! Our 5th grade students had an incredible Thursday and Friday as they were able to experience a deeper learning of the body systems! Through the support of families at the Forest Hills Public Schools Foundation Annual Gala, we were able to once again have students learn about the body system through a shark dissection. Students were fascinated in seeing and touching organs they had been learning about in class. A special thanks to our volunteers who took part!

CENTRAL WOODLANDS LEARNING ENVIRONMENT REQUEST FOR (For families of this year’s 5th grade students)
When developing class rosters for the coming school year, we follow a well-defined process and consider many things, including a child’s learning style, academic needs, work habits, and personality. We also must address the heterogeneous make-up of classes, boy/girl ratios, and group dynamics. Our goal is to provide the best placement for every student. Your input is important in this process as you know your child the best. Please do not request specific teachers. However, if you want us to consider a specific learning environment for your child, please answer the questions below. This form should be submitted to the Central Woodlands Counseling office by Monday, May 15, 2017. Final placement decisions are made by the principal and counselors and will be shared in the team placement letter sent prior to the start of school. —————————————————————————————————————————— CENTRAL WOODLANDS LEARNING ENVIRONMENT REQUEST PLEASE RETURN BY MONDAY, MAY 15, 2017 Child’s Name_________________________________________________________________________ Current Teacher______________________________________________________________________ Parent/Guardian Name(s)_______________________________________________________________ Phone________________________________ Email__________________________________________ My child works best in a classroom that is: _________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ My child is motivated by: ______________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ My child’s strength is: _________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ My child needs the most help with: _______________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ In the past, my child has done his/her best when: ____________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ Other comments or concerns:_____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ PLEASE RETURN TO THE CENTRAL WOODLANDS COUNSELING OFFICE BY MONDAY, MAY 15, 2017
