4 sections for 4th Grade at PLE for 2019-2020 School Year

To Whom It May Concern,

     We are parents of upcoming 4th graders at Pleasant Lake Elementary.  It has come to our attention that in the Fall our children will most likely be grouped into three larger classes of approximately 30 or more students each as opporsed to the four sections they have previously been grouped into.  This greatly concerns us.

     We do not feel that such large classes promote an optimal learning environment.  There is simply no way a teacher can give proper attention to all students when their time is so divided.  Some of us have children or friends with children who were affected by the extremely large classes in the group of students who just graduated from 5th grade.  Others of us are aware of what happened at our school a couple of years ago, when after deciding to reduce to three large sections for that year's 4th grade, enough children moved in to go over in the class size the numbers allowed by the teachers' contract with the district.  When this resulted in a section being added midyear, it was quite disruptive for the students involved.  All of this is preventable by not having classes that are so large with numbers so close to what is allowed by the teachers' contract.

     We hope that after reading this letter and seeing how many of us feel strongly, that you will seriously reconsider the possibility of having four classes sections for our children.  This would be the best thing for their education and the best way to optimize their overall school experience.
