Weve experienced excellent communication and care from my sons kindergarten teacher. She has taken the time to really see him, learn him. He started the school year late, and his teacher had prepared the class before his start date to think through how to make a new friend feel welcomed and included so that on his first day he received a very warm and friendly embrace! We were so thankful for this thoughtful preparation. weve watched our son gain more academic confidence and he remains quite academically motivated and curious. Very impressed with our experience at Rand Rd Elementary.

Not a great place for a child with health issues. Health plan was not followed. You have to stay on top of things to get anything done. Took many tphone calls and visits to get testing of any kind done and office staff took over three weeks to a month getting some paper work that I needed.
