Assigning students is a complex educational process that involves grade-level, special area, and support teachers; counselors; reading and math specialists; and the building principal. We have developed procedures that allow us to create a healthy, heterogeneous balance. These classrooms are formed with consideration given to a wide range of academic strengths, learning styles, and personal characteristics of both the teachers and the students. Any concerns, unique characteristics, or circumstances that may prove significant in the placement of your child should be shared with the current homeroom teacher. This information will be included as part of the placement process. However, please know that specific teacher requests will not be granted. The priority of our school community is to see that each student receives the best possible education. Our teaching staff is an excellent one that can meet the needs of all students. Your continued support in this endeavor is greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Dr. Amy Kern Principal 4100 Middle Road Allison Park, PA 15101-1210 Telephone: 412.486-6000 Fax: 412-486-1144 www.ht-sd.org Hampton Township School District is looking for Registered Nurses interested in becoming Nurse Substitutes in our schools.
