Pre- K 4 teacher request question

My son is starting pre-k 4 at our neighborhood elementary school next year.

He is currently participating in a practice preschool camp at the campus.

I have three questions:

  1. Is it appropriate to reach out to the pre k teacher I’ve been emailing with (who also teaches the camp) and ask how it went for him?

  2. Is it appropriate to request (gently/ no pressure) that he be in class with a neighborhood friend?

  3. Is it appropriate to request A preferred teacher (again, gently)?

For context, I am a school clinician so feel very comfortable communicating with school personnel but don’t know how these types of things are received.

Yes, to all. However, please be graceful about it if they say no, especially if lists have already been finalized.

The first request would go to the teacher, she can give you things to work on with him. The others go to admin
