Special ed teacher or those with knowledge of special ed
Thanks for the responses I’m guess likely they won’t allow me to change the class.

Re: Special ed teacher or those with knowledge of special ed
I'm a special ed teacher, but also as a mother, I would push for a separation of the girls. Kids sometimes need a break from others, and I would hope they would honor that since it has gotten to a level where things are physical at times.

Re: Special ed teacher or those with knowledge of special ed
I am a school psychologist and in my experience, I highly doubt they will move your child if it will displace another child already in the other classroom. Honestly, I’d be livid if my child was the one displaced if she was comfortable in her classroom and it is currently May.
I think they’d be more likely to do something like adding push-in counseling services and/or an aide for the places this is happening.
I would speak to the principal and demand the school social worker hammer out an agreement between the girls that they will stay away from each other.
Also, are there any disciplinary actions regarding these girls?

Im not looking to do this now in May I want them to be in separate classes in September. I wish the girls would just mature and get along because they are friends some of the times but much of the time they are not in good terms. No disciplinary actions have been taken. My dd had her iPad time taken away for a whole weekend after this incident in her art class. I will be reaching back out to the social worker and see if they can continue to see her. Hoping the summer break will help too.

Sorry I misunderstood.
For next school year, I think you could certainly request it but they may be reluctant. I still stand by working with the social worker and following up with the principal. curious why nothing was done discipline wise with the students who put their hands on your child.

I would definitely reach out to the school and request that the girls be separated for September. It can’t hurt to ask. Our school sent home a note from the principal asking for any concerns for placement next year to be sent in in writing by a certain date. And one of the concerns they will take into consideration is possible student conflicts.
In the meantime, I would limit all contact with that girl. No playdates, tell your DD to stay away from her, and your DD has to learn how to defend herself too. She is not a good “friend” even if they have good days sometimes.

We typically have two sections per grade level and our cotaught classes are housed in the same elementary building so we often separate kids. It could be an easy fix...maybe a student currently in cotaught is moving to a more or less restrictive setting next year and opens a spot. It never hurts to ask and advocate for your child. If it can't be done, then I would insist on the classroom adding more supports so that this doesn't continue.

I would definitely request they to be separated. There is a girl in our grade level that many people request their kids not to be with, for all of the reasons you have stated in this post. But, we are now dealing with this is 5th grade...so 5 years of nonsense. It can't hurt to ask. I understand the special education aspect of it, but someone in the other class might be moving out, etc., you never know. Kids do get declassified.
