Ms. Kristy and Members of the OCS Administration,

It has come to our attention that OCS Administration is making plans to combine Ms. Marlene's kindergarten class with Ms. Kelly's kindergarten class to create 2 new cohorts as they enter 1st grade. We respectfully request you consider keeping Ms. Marlene's class together as they head into 1st grade and beyond, and would welcome the opportunity to speak with you about this further.

We are making this request because for us, Ms. Marlene's class has exemplified the Waldorf experience -- creating a supportive community for the kids and parents -- both in and outside of the classroom. Our kids have now been together for two years, and have built a incredibly strong and supportive classroom dynamic and community with Ms. Marlene's guidance. Next year, our hope would be for the OCS Administration to maintain consistency for these kids as they settle into a new teacher and new classroom, something that is consistent with the Waldorf philosophy we value so deeply.

We understand that the school weighs many factors when making these decisions, but we do hope you will fully consider this perspective when making the final decision about class make-up for next year.

Thank you,
