Class Requests for the 2017-18 School Year
|
|
At Gem Prep: Nampa we value the partnerships between families and our school. Fostering this relationship begins with open communication and a shared effort to support your child’s success at school and beyond. One way we value this relationship is by asking for your input in understanding the way and where your child learns best. While we take pride in getting to know your student, and will take into account their current teacher’s recommendations, we equally take into account your input before using all of this information to decide the best learning environment for your child during the 2017-18 school year. To share this information with us, please complete one class requests form per family before Wednesday, May 17th. Class lists for the 2017-18 academic year will be shared with the GPN community at the beginning of June. |
