Welcome to Desert Sky Middle School
Teacher/Team Request Period

Desert Sky will be accepting parental requests for teachers and teaching teams for the 2012-2013 school year during the period of May 16th-25th. Please note the following with regard to parental requests for teachers:

Requests must be made in writing to the Assistant to the Principal, Shannon Woolridge.  This can be done by dropping off a written request in the Desert Sky front office or via e-mail at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .  In addition to stating which placement you would like us to consider for your child, your request should also include your child's name, current grade, and current teacher.

Please be aware that we will do our best to accommodate all requests.  However, we also believe that it is best common practice to balance our classrooms and teams with regard to class size, ELP students, special education students, high achievers, low achievers, gender, behavior, etc.  Therefore, parents are highly encouraged to also indicate a second choice in case we are unable to honor your first choice.

Requests are not granted on a first come first serve basis, so it does not matter when you send it in as long as it is during the designated dates listed above.

If you choose not to make a request, we will place your child with the teachers and team that we feel is best suited for your child and aids us in forming balanced classrooms or teams.
