As a mother of 8 and having been from kindergarten to 5th grade 4 times already, I love this school. The teachers are excellent and the staff are so amazing. I have had two with IEPs and they have always been extremely great with meeting the kids need!

This school is a haven for bullies! Staff should be ashamed.

Where do I start? I recently moved and my experiences were rough and stressful. My sons first grade teacher wAs horrible. I had tried for over 4 months to schedule a teacher conference with and she evaded my every attempt. My son along with several other boys were suffering by being labeled by her then by the other childern in the classroom, there was favouritism going which I did confront her and the principle with. I finally got a conference with her along with the principle. I wanted the other parents children to be involved and aware as to what was going on as well and informed the principle. I don't know what he said to her(I also reached out to the counslor) but my sons behaviour did a 1-80 the following week along with the other little boys that was being 'labeled'. Thank you Mr Cameron-but some of those teachers have forgotten that these are young boys and these adults spend 8 hours a day with with our children and are a large influence-positive and negative. My son had almost given up had I not pushed along with the other little boy who is a great kid too.My other sons fourth grade teacher was a little better I could at least communicate with her better. I had asked both of them if there issues to please address to me via email phone call conference---they do like to be told they are wrong. This was one of the worse experiences I have ever had to deal with. Meet the teacher be involved, don't be afraid to speak out-your kids depend on it and it could help another child at the same time. Thank you Christopher for being such a good friend to Christian.
