Dear Desmares Community,

The creation of class lists is an important responsibility that classroom teachers, school counselors, and administrators work endlessly to manage. We spend a great deal of time and effort creating well-balanced class lists that ensure the success of students both academically and socially. 

Many factors are considered in making placement decisions, including desirable social combinations of students, undesirable social combinations of students, numbers of students requiring academic support or enrichment, and overall number balance. 

Placement decisions are not made casually. Because it is not as simple as placing a student with a teacher without considering all of the dynamics of each class and the individual and collective needs of the students, the Flemington Raritan School District does not honor parental requests for specific teachers. 

Parents may write a letter to the principal stating specific needs that their child has which may be considered when placing the student. 

Letters should be sent to Mr. Masessaat:mmasessa@frsd.k12.nj.us

The letter should state facts to consider and not request a specific teacher. 

LETTERS MUST BE RECEIVED BY MAY 1st, 2022
