As the parent of a third-grade student directly affected, I am disappointed. Our children spent the first three weeks of school getting settled into their classrooms, building relationships, learning routines, and beginning to feel comfortable and confident in a new school year. Then, through no fault of their own, that stability was taken away. Asking children to start over in a larger classroom has a real emotional and educational impact. These are young children, not numbers on a spreadsheet.

The district needs to speak to why teacher reassignments are being made after the school year has started. My child's school also had teacher reassignments. 3 weeks in decisions should have already been made. These changes affect the whole school: parents, teachers, staff, & most importantly the students. Teachers need time to plan and transition grades. Students deserve decent class sizes and consistency. Learning is disrupted with these decisions. How did this happen? Seems irresponsible.

It’s ridiculous that this was part of any regular protocol. This kind of disruption is clearly detrimental to the education of these children.

Shame on Canyon School District for making such a disruptive decision just weeks into the school year. Taking away a third grade teacher putting over 30 students in classrooms and then pulling a first grade teacher to compensate is unacceptable. Our children deserve stability and better planning. This was a huge mistake and we are not okay with it.

This is completely unacceptable. The district says they are putting students first but clearly they don’t care that much about student wellbeing to make changes like this after 3 weeks of school.

This is unacceptable. Our daughter loved her 3rd grade teacher, class of 21, and that she had a couple of her best friends in her class. Over one weekend the class is dissolved, she has a new teacher with 30 other kids, and all her friends are in the other class. This was an unnecessary disruption. It’s ridiculous this happened 3 weeks in. All due to 13 less kids enrolled, which is 2 per grade - that is an unreasonable margin/buffer! This should never happen again to our kids and these teachers.

This affects my child he is in third grade. And does not deserve to have 30 and 31 kids in his class these kids deserve more than that.

A school should never have a mass change 3 weeks into the year. That is unacceptable.

The teachers and staff work so hard for our students and this change caused quite a bit of disruption for all involved. Students need stability and to have a safe consistent environment. It seems very disappointing and dysfunctional for the district to do these changes 3 weeks into the school year over a minimal attendance variance. Plus moving the teachers that had their systems in place already for their current students is a huge burden on them. Please review your policy's on this!
