Dear Parents/Guardians:

Due to our small class size in K4 and K5 grades, we have decided to combine both classes.  Research from one of the leading experts, Joel Gajadharsingh, says the following:

“Students in split grades do just as well, if not better academically, thanks to repetition and exposure to another grade.”  He further stated, “Their ability to behave and get along with others is also superior. They’re more independent, confident, responsible, dependable, respectful, collaborative and — if you haven’t heard enough already — even tend to develop better study habits, regardless of whether they’re in the younger or older grade.”  He also said, “They are not simply left alone; they have assignments to do, and these are the things that teach them independence and dependability to do their work.  They also learn to collaborate in this kind of environment, where they either give help or seek help.”

Parents, I want you to know that am working closely with the teachers to ensure that your child is successful in this multilevel class.  If you have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at (414) 463-6000.

Sincerely,

 

Mondell Mayfield
