The Common Teacher Evaluation Forms can be sent to your child's CURRENT teachers through Ravenna by entering each teacher’s email address. If the school requires paper forms, you have the option of printing them through Ravenna. Two recommendations are required -- one from an English teacher and one from a Math teacher. For middle school: If the instructor teaches both Math and English, they may fill out the recommendation form for students with one teacher. That will be the only form you will need to submit. You are welcome to submit a recommendation from a supplemental teacher (coach, instructor, etc.) however, it is not required.

The teachers may need some time to learn about the students; please wait until after November 1st to request teacher recommendations.
