[quote=Anonymous]Definitely write a letter to the principal; if you were to ask at school how to do this, that's what you'd be told. Unless there is a formal letter from the parents, they are not necessarily going to consider the request. Send the letter both on paper and by e-mail, noting that a paper copy is also on the way. Simple.

I would also talk with this year's teacher if you and the teacher communicate well. Tell the teacher, "I just wanted you to know that I am writing a letter about next year's class placements and I'm asking that my Sally not be in the same first grade class with Jenny. I wanted to give you a heads-up that we're requesting that, so if you get asked about it when classes are being put together for next year, you'll know that we want them separated."

There is no need to go into detail with the principal or the K teacher. Just say that your observations over this school year tell you that your daughter should be separated from Jenny for first grade and you are requesting that the girls not be placed in the same first grade class.

I agree with the person who posted above that you should send a reminder during the summer as well.

If class lists come out and your child is indeed in the same class as Jenny, get on the job right away and e-mail the principal immediately, or better yet, go in person to the office. Be sure you have a copy of the original request letter from this spring.

A friend had requested, in writing, that her son not be in a class with another boy but somehow they got put in the same class. Friend acted the same day the class list was posted (a few days before school began, in our area) and the change got made before school ever began, so neither boy ever knew about the change.
