I have given a lot of thought to the practice of accepting parent requests for a specific teacher, particularly in K-5. This practice has been in place at ASFL for many years; however, because of many reasons, I will no longer accept parent requests effective with the 2010-2011 school year. I believe that ASFL offers a high-quality curriculum with very competent and caring teachers. Over the last four years, I have made a concerted effort to get to know my students, parents, and teachers. I have made mental notes of students' personalities, students' individual needs, as well as the teaching styles of teachers. I can honestly say that I know all 428 students. Based on my observations and experiences, I believe that I can make a pretty good decision regarding what is best for the student.
If you have any additional information about your child that I am not aware of, please send me an e-mail. I do want to consider the needs of the entire child; however, please know that I do have your child's best interest in mind. Please do not include in the letter a request for a specific teacher. Thanks for honoring my request.
