THE IMPORTANCE OF “STAYING PUT”
Congratulations!
Your child attends a FABULOUS school!
KEEP IT THAT WAY!
Student transiency is defined as students moving from one school to another for reasons other than grade promotion. Research shows that there is a relationship between transiency and student achievement. Students that stay put out-perform students that switch schools during the school year. A student entering a classroom mid- year, often feels behind due to the stress of getting used to a new school, new classroom, new classmates, and a new teacher with new teaching styles. Moving during the school year can cause gaps in necessary academic skills resulting in a weak academic foundation. Instructional time is lost during transitions. Thinking of moving? If at all possible, wait until the end of the school year. I love all of my students. Not only do I not want to see any of my students move, but I also want them to get the best, possible education!
