Grandson was enrolled in Distant Learning at home and he used the cromebook which opened our family to very serious dangers, hes 10yrs old we verified validity by talking on camera full screen to a young teen from another state his (father and I), we only had to put one letter into "Talk Room" web site! I m told there are millions that are accessible from school cromebooks taken home, we thought was safe but found out when too late. We notified school of bad accessible sites previously like u tube cartoons of sexual behavior etcetera, this time we were able to see and talk to a young person online crome, we had HIM reminded my grandson of the dangers he himself he told us he had a VPN to protect himself. Principle told us there is no protection once its at home after we complained! Thanks a lot, So we expected they would put my grandson back in physical school, no space for him and no physical spots granted even after knowng this dangerous activity going on. How is this Okay ? We had to put him in school in another state to finish 4th grade. We did not want anymore crome usage, they are calling it absences but not allowing him entrance in any schools near by. They were completely unwilling to help this issue.

For my first child, this school was great. But for my second child, its turning out to not be a great fit. Also the demographics have changed quite a bit in recent years therefore the PTA/PTO isnt what it used to be and it shows.

This school is a mothers dream for her children! the staff is exceptional! Mrs. Stephens is the best teacher I have ever came across! She is so patient, understanding and loving! She has such a great energy and the kids love her! Me. Hoban the principal is doing an outstanding job! Whether it's standing outside to direct traffic, getting taped to a flag pole to raise money for the school, or teaching the kids right from wrong, he is always so involved! The parent involvement in this school is awesome and gives the teachers a chance to work on kids who may need some extra attention in the classroom! Great job blossom valley staff you guys are doing amazing!

This school is truly one of a kind...the community is connected and involved..the teachers are amazing, knowledgeable and caring...parents are involved and willing to give of their time. The principal is fantastic, he is caring, nurturing and knows the kids on a first name basis. The curriculum is outstanding, my first grader slipped seamlessly into first grade, thanks to the outstanding work of his Kindergarten teacher Mrs. Price and he continues to love school thanks to his first grade teacher Mrs. Rice...The PTA gives so much and best of all, the PTA and the teachers, staff and principal literally work side by side to accomplish a common goal, isn't that what its all about? Making it better for the kids? This school rocks!

This is a wonderful school! The Principal is awesome, and the staff is beyond caring... Back to School Night was an incredible testament to the super education the students receive at Blossom Valley. My student is only in first grade but is now reading at a beginning third grade level! And he loves it! The PTA is amazing, and it is such a great feeling to know that my student is in a safe and caring environment.

This school is FANTASTIC! My son just started 2wks ago in Mrs Stephens' first grade class and LOVES school! Which I can not say about his last school! He has some special needs (speech and academic) and Mrs Stephens and the entire special ed staff are soooo caring about him! His last teacher ignored him in class and did nothing but complain about him! She really cares about him and always has positive news, even when letting me know where his challenges are! I can not recommend this school enough! Even the crossing guards are super nice! I wish I could give 10 starts!

My boys just started at Blossom Valley last one, one in Kinder and one in the Jumpstart Preschool program which is also on campus. It has been such a positive experience fromt he very begining. The Principal is outstanding, and spends alot of time in the kindergarten classes, which as a parent, I really appreciate. He also taught Kinder for 5 years so he really knows what us as parents are going through and its nice. Parents are very much encouraged to volunteer here and I love that. Everyone at Blossom Valley is so friendly, I really feel that my boys are learning alot both in the Preschool and Kindergarten. I would recommend this school to any parent considering an outstanding public school.
