- Eaton Excellence: Time to Celebrate, Reflect and Plan
As the 2011-2012 school year comes to an end, it is an opportunity to celebrate, reflect and begin planning for the coming year. The John Eaton Community of Learners is unlike any other in the District. School staff, parents, and community members come together to support and provide the very best educational experience for our students. This collaboration, support, and “spirit” will continue to be the number one priority at Eaton.
Congratulations to our students in grades 2-5 for doing their very best on the recent DC Comprehensive Assessment System (DC CAS) administration. The entire school worked together to provide the absolute best testing environment for our students. We followed all testing protocols and had no “testing irregularities.” Our parents did an amazing job with on time arrival and attendance! Thank you! read more…..

Student Placement Procedures for the 2012-2013 School Year
As the 2011-2012 school year draws to a close, we start to consider class placements for next year. At John Eaton, pupil placement is really a group effort. Our specialists and classroom teachers work together to review and discuss information about each student in order to form classes that are balanced by gender, ethnic background, academic performance and specific learning need. Our goal is to place each child in a class where his or her individual instructional, social, and emotional needs are met.
In order to achieve this goal, information provided by teachers and specialists regarding the student’s academic achievement, work habits, social behavior, and special services currently received is carefully evaluated. Information about any special health issues and whether a student should be separated from another student for academic or social reasons is also taken into consideration.
If you have any information about your child and/or the type of learning environment you feel would be best suited for your child, please share it with the principal in writing / email (dale.mann@dc.gov) before Friday, May 18, 2012. It is important to share specific characteristics about your child(ren). Please do not, however, request a particular teacher as changes in personnel occur frequently due to a variety of reasons. Teacher assignments, therefore, are not usually finalized until the week prior to the opening of school. Classroom assignments are posted at our Open House and changes will not be made.
We at John Eaton are committed to building the classrooms in which we believe all children will learn best and be most successful. Thank you in advance for your contribution, understanding and support of this important process.
Dale E. Mann Principal
