Class Placement Requests
At Troy, like our K-4 buildings, much thought and consideration goes into making placement decisions.
Our goal is to ensure that placements are made based on each student's academic needs, available services and overall classroom dynamics.
As part of this process, we do not accept specific teacher requests.
We appreicate your understanding and trust in our approach to creating balanced and supportive learning environments for all students.
If you have any concerns regarding your child's academic needs, please feel free to reach out.
