It is recommended that you contact each teacher individually and that you provide the teacher with the enclosed return envelope. If your child is in a self-contained classroom, the second recommendation can come from a previous year's teacher or from an auxillary teacher, such as music, art, PE, etc.

All other applicants will be notified accordingly.
