Class Lists for 2012-2013
Teachers and Ms. Armstrong are beginning to look forward to class placements for the 2012-2013 school year. The team works together to place students into classes that are balanced and consider individual student’s information and learning style, as well as teaching styles. This approach allows Ms. Armstrong to build classes to create the best learning opportunities for children.

If a parent feels a need to share specific information or the preferred teaching style, please contact Ms. Armstrong by email (katie.armstrong@pisd.edu) or leave a note in the office for her. Due to any potential staff changes that may occur, please do not request a teacher by name but discuss the particular needs and styles for your child. We request that if you wish to share information about your child, please send it to us by May 31.

Also, if your family is moving from the Aldridge attendance zone, please let your child’s homeroom teacher and Mrs. Hernandez know so we can take this information into account when we build our classes. We will need your child’s name, homeroom teacher, and where you intend to move. You can send the information to Mrs. Hernandez at tracy.hernandez@pisd.edu.

Thank you for subscribing to the Aldridge listserv,
Aldridge Administrative Team
