I was extremely disappointed with this school. The quality of the education my child received was what I would consider extremely lacking. Firstly I am one of those parents that does not understand why someone would become a teacher or principal and start having babies. I understand they have the best maternity leave of any job. On the flip side when you work with extremely young children, constant change throughout the year is disruptive to their learning processes. Just a thought that maybe if a job is for maternity leave, they should constantly working with middle or high school kids. While my child was here not only did the principal have maternity leave but so did my child’s kindergarten teacher. That disruption with her teacher created massive issues at home. My kiddo does not take well to constant change. Secondly, I understand the extra precautions for Covid. Every morning I give my child and immunity drop. Not a cough drop but an immunity drop. I have done this since she’s been old enough to have a piece of her candy in her mouth. I get a call from the school 20 minutes after I drop her off saying oh you need to come pick her up because she has a cough drop. I said it was the last of immunity drop and it was not a cough drop and my child is very aware of what they are!!!! She’s in kindergarten she has not had a cough or a fever, for goodness sakes she’s not even had any mucus coming out of her nose. They still made me come pick her up. The only good thing about the school was the after school program at kidsmart. My daughter started her new school being behind, despite her supposedly doing well on the testing here. Really makes a parent start questioning the process. She has been making extremely large learning strides at her new school. I blame Slater for slowing her education and am thankful to her new school for giving her the extra guidance to get her caught up.

Slater Elementary has been a magnificent school. I have two daughters who both love school and are honor students because they were fortunate enough to attend Slater Kindergarten through sixth grade. My youngest daughter will graduate 6th grade this year and move onto middle school and I know our entire family will miss the Slater teachers and staff members. My daughters thrive as honor students all because the teachers and staff cultivate an excellent learning environment for the students to thrive. The front office staff and the teachers are always so welcoming & make us all feel like family. If you are considering enrollimg your children in Slater Elementary parent to parent you & your children will not be disappointed. Your children can only benefit from attending this school as my children have blossomed into smart responsible young ladies who love school because of their experience at Slater Elementary. This school is highly recommended and is very deserving of 5 stars!

I am soo impressed with this school. My daughter had separation anxiety and was so bad when I would leave her. The teachers and staff made her feel safe. I love the communication and involvement I have in my daughters schooling. I am sadly moving this year and of all things I will miss it's the school that's a top one. I am so Appreciative if how they treated us and how my daughter has progressed in her education. Mrs. Rojas and Ms Hiedi are great!!
