My grandkids come from a different school district and the homework/classwork was more challenging.
Posted: December 7, 2018
One of my grandkids teachers talks about his personal life (his sexuality ) I don't think that's appropriate.
Posted: December 7, 2018
Most of the time they don't want to deal with the students.

It's a lot of bullying and enough is not being done. My grandson has a classmate that's a problem and gets in a lot of trouble (very disruptive)

My grandson is in special Ed class and he said the teacher yells at him if he doesn't understand something.

My grandkids tell me the same kids always pick on them.

Bullying is a problem at this school. The administrators are willing to listen and acknowledge it but nothing really gets done about it. It is so bad that my child verbalized suicidal thoughts and I am now seeking mental health treatment for my child over the bullying. If your child has had a problem with bullying or you are worried about bullying, find another school for your child. I will not be sending any of my child back to this school next year.

My son has been at this School since 2010, he really has had a wonderful time at this School. They are very Family oriented, and love to help children in need. The Teachers really help the children learn and feel supported. As part of the PTA for a few years there as well, I have become closer with Administration, Teachers and Students. This School is like an extended Family and my son does very well here.

Excuse me, "Seriously." Erickson was a Performing school BEFORE LePage joined our staff. Truth be told, she is NOT missed.

Wow... did a middle school student write these comments? Seriously, that is the maturity level of this person who finds it amusing to slander an effective administrator that worked endless hours to better this school. Helen LePage came to Erickson when it was a low performing school and improved it to a performing plus school rating. I think you can't argue with data- the ratings say it all and without an awesome principal, that wouldn't have happened. Her focus was on the children, which clearly yours is not... but Erickson deserves better than your distasteful comments and Ms. LePage was well respected by people who were there to improve student achievement. One of the best things she did was get rid of the "toxic waste" at the school and fill it with staff that is student-centered. I speak on behalf of many parents in this community when I say, your voice is one, but there are many of us who don't agree and have a lot of respect for the dedication and support that our students received at Erickson. Helen Lepage is sorely missed and I am grateful for all she did for my children.

Love, love, love this school now that Helen LePagan is gone!!!!! Happy, happy, happy!!!!! Yay, Roadrunners!!!!! It's gonna be a fantastic year!

If you've ever had to deal with Helen LePage, it'd quickly become clear why the entire Erickson community is so dang excited about her impending retirement. The woman is a joke!!

If Helen LePage put as much time into learning about how to run a school as she does into bullying the staff and trying to turn everyone against each other, Erickson would be the #1 school on the planet.

One of the worst elementary school ever I mean you have to pay 500$$$ of your students is tardy 15 times. Also, if you don't/forgot to pick your students up in the next 30 mintues they will call the police reallly. The teachers and staffs. The price for the food are terrible.I wouldn't take your kids to this school. Also, Their food scheduled are really weird. they also don't have enough field trip. Worst Elementary school ever.

Going from Janet Jordan (Reynolds principal) to Helen LePage is like going from Heaven to h---. My kids HATE going to school now!!

I think this school is great becase the teachers participate in games that encorage students to do what they' ve never done.there only to games during school and it is art and the PE teacher.The after school game are great to do like crosscountry, track, chess, and a stay in to finish work or practice what students never done.the teachers who coached these games where mostly Ms.Brown, Mr.Mac, Mr.Selby [which is a retired from Erickson] Ms.Nygeren, Coach Steve which most students love.Mrs.LePage will sometimes dress up for MAC-RO and encorages most of the students to get 100% for each month.The PTA and Greg [Gregory] addfun on Friday nights, they set up a movie like in the theaters.Its free to watch and you get to buy food.Thegreat part is that you can bring a blanket and pillow.

This school is a joke. If you value your child's education, do NOT send him or her to a school run by Helen LePage.
