Altimira Middle School

Summary: During the first two weeks of school a parent can request a teacher change without following the teacher change process. Most changes will occur if changed do unbalance classes or exceed class size limits. The parent requesting a change must have had a conference with the teacher prior to submitting a teacher change request. To request a change the parent must submit the request in writing and identify the specific concerns they have with the teacher and the principal. A meeting will occur between student, parent, teacher, administration and counseling with the goal of resolving the concerns that have been previously submitted in writing. A minimum of two to three weeks will be given to determine if the concerns have been resolved or can be resolved. A student's refusal to do schoolwork or homework is not considered as an attempt to resolve the concern. If concerns are not resolved administration, and counseling will meet with the new teacher to decide if a teacher cchange will occur.
