Dear Jean Steckle Parents:

The Jean Steckle team has put a considerable amount of work into the class blending process. It takes a great amount of time, revision, and careful consideration. Sometimes parents ask for changes in the fall, not realizing the many factors which have gone into the final decisions. We cannot shuffle classrooms based on summer friendships or summer falling-outs. Please prepare your child to accept his or her class placement by saying things such as, “It doesn’t matter what class you are in – all the teachers are great.” Or, “It doesn’t matter if you are not in the same class as your friend – you will get to see them at recess anyway”. Please be confident in your child’s teacher. Remember that kids take their cues from the reactions of the most important adults in their lives – their parents.

Please note: these class lists are temporary and will change if the school’s enrollment increases. Once our final numbers are submitted, we will notify parents of any changes.

We look forward to seeing all of our students in Grade 1 to Grade 8 on Tuesday, September 5. We will be welcoming our kindergarten students on either Wednesday, September 6 or Thursday, September 7.
