Both of my children have enjoyed their time at Timber! Some of our favorite things about being a Timberwolf are school pride, family involvement, and especially the fun traditions they carry on each year - Teddy Bear parade, Howlabration, Dancefest, Specialist Night, just to name a few. #UniteThePack #HearUsHowl #OnceATimberwolfAlwaysATimberwolf

The faculty, staff, and PTA are very involved and work together to create a positive and diverse learning environment.

My children have thrived at Timber. I appreciate the teachers, staff and administrators and they all have always been extremely responsive to any concern I have had. I also value the community that has been established through family nights and events sponsored by the PTA. It is a small school with a genuine family atmosphere.

I am very disappointed in this school because some the teachers are not fair to all the kids, some yell at the kids, teachers and teacher assistants believe one student over another student, the integrity and fairness is lacking there from the top level to the bottom .

Disappointed that the school keeps missing national standards. I may look at having my child go to Vandora or Aversboro as they consistently meet the standards.

My daughter has attended Timber for K & 1st grade and I have been pleased overall by our experience with this school. I feel that her teachers have been very personal with her and that she is getting the one on one instruction when she needs it. There are several school-wide events and activities that take place throughout the year in addition to the ones within her own classes that are educational and informative which make it "fun" to be a part of Timber. My daughter views her teachers and classmates as a second family and loves going to school. The opportunities for parent involvement reach past just belonging to the PTA and I enjoy having the option to volunteer on a weekly basis with my daughter's classroom.
