Parent Consideration Form for the  25/26 SY

Ensuring appropriate student placement is a meticulous and thorough process. We gather input from various stakeholders, including your child's current teachers, resource staff, interventionists, administrators, and support staff to form homeroom classes. Each student's placement is based on a diverse set of criteria that align with the Howard County Public School System's commitment to heterogeneous grouping philosophy. Some of these criteria include, but are not limited to:     

  • the personality of the child
  •  racial and ethnic diversity
  • written output
  •  test results
  • reading strengths and needs
  • special education requirements; IEP goals
  • structured versus non-structured needs
  • information from previous teachers and school counselor/Student Services team
There are certain concerns that we cannot consider as part of this consideration form: therefore we ask that you not use this form to propose the following:

*specific teacher requests
*placement based on siblings’ experiences
*grouping based on friends
*grouping based on hearsay about teachers or other children

Your input will be used as a part of our articulation planning. Please complete this form by May 14, 2025. One form should be completed for each child in your household that will be attending FRES for the 25/26 school year.
