This school is amazing. I love the new principal and all the changes we have seen in the school. She empowers the teachers to do their best. The kids are happy, excited about different things happening weekly, and are good kids. All the parents I know only have great things to say.

The teachers have differentiated homework and work with me to support my daughter.

The school does the Wise Owl Ways! The principal even quizzes the parents to make sure we also practice at home.

The new principal is so accessible and kind. She always shares important information with parents and students. She has changed a lot of things for the better. My daughter always tells me she smiles at her daily and asked her how is she doing.

Mrs. Watson, the RSP, is always helpful and supports me with my daughters IEP.

The Wise Owl Ways are great, they also have videos, and right not they have an antibullying contest for the month.

They need to fix the way they go about doing an assembly now. It's pure chaos, how do you expect for kids grades 1st thru 3rd to stay still during an assembly from 1:45 to 3pm??? It was hard enough for us as adults to not get antsy, what did you expect from kids? The AR awards you should have the teachers give out to their students in their classroom, the rest like outstanding citizen and perfect attendance should be done at the assembly so the whole thing isn't so long. You need to be better prepared and coordinated when it comes to these things.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SCHOOL. THEIR ACADEMICS ARE OUTSTANDING. MY 7 YEAR OLD IS EXCELLING IN 1ST GRADE BEYOND MY EXPECTATIONS. HE NOW READS IN BOTH LANGUAGES. I PLACED HIM IN THE BILINGUAL PROGRAM, NOT KNOWING MUCH SPANISH, BUT HE HAS HAD THE BEST TEACHERS AND SUPPORT STAFF. THEIR NEW MATH PROGRAM IS AMAZING, AND I LOVE THE ACCELERATED READER !! MY SON LOVES THEIR MUSIC LESSONS !!THEY HAVE A GREAT CURRICULUM WITH CARING TEACHERS AND PRINCIPAL THAT GO OUT OF THEIR WAY TO ENHANCE THE CHILDS EDUCATION. I LOVE THE FIELDTRIPS TO THE SYMPHONY, LIBRARY AMONG MANY OTHERS. I RECCOMEND THIS SCHOOL TO ANY PARENT THAT WANTS THEIR CHILDREN TO EXCEL ACADEMICALLY AND SOCIALLY.

The school is sufficient with the educational system. The disiplinary actions taken by the staff is below standards allowing "bullying" in campus. There is also some discriminations and bias actions from a teacher. It is hard to have a good relationship with this teacher due to her authoritative attitude. Parents and teachers should work together for the well-being and development of the students not just by giving negative criticisms. Im not writting this not only for me and my child but also for the other parents who feel the same. P.S. my opinion is solely based on our experience on the 1st Grade audience
