[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No partner teachers at Murch and enrollment is hard to gauge given they are coming out of the swing space which has meant higher enrollment at other schools in similar circumstances. [/quote]

Enrollment for 4th should not be too much of a guess.  IB families for 4th graders either kept them through the swing space or moved to private.   If they are at private, I would guess most families will leave the child there through the end of elementary.  [/quote]

When Lafayette moved into its new building, the 4th grade gained 17 new kids.[/quote]

But, I think many of the new kids at Lafayette were former Murch kids who benefitted from the boundary change that year which let them skip the Murch swing space years and instead go to a brand new building at Lafayette, so that was a double whammy anomaly.

In any case, last year Murch's 4th grade was 21-23 per class in 4 homerooms. Hopefully, they won't get so many new IB kids that they'd have to add a homeroom already. The goal is to keep 4th and 5th grade at 4 homerooms.[/quote]

The final staffing plan they sent out awhile ago says it'll remain 4 homerooms in both.[/quote]
