Me emociona mucho ver como los maestros están verdaderamente interesados en las necesidades de cada uno de sus estudiantes,se interesan en su progreso y sobre todo en su seguridad!mis 3 hijos (k,1,3) estan muy felices de ser parte de Sipherd.

Sipherd community is awesome!! My kids are there and one of them struggled the last couple years before we moved there. Since he started 2nd grade there he is flourishing! The teachers work together and the community as a whole is great! Also a plus that they offer the latchkey program before and after school, way way cheaper than daycare

I have been a parent in this district since 1993, but just recently transferred my second grader to Christine Sipherd Elementary. From the moment I first entered the parking lot, the school spirit amazed me. Nearly every vehicle dropping off their child had "Sipherd, Unity with our Community" written on their back window. That type of spirit is not possible without parent involvement. Parent involvement doesn't happen without great Leadership. Great Leader, Great Teaching Staff, Spirit and Parental involvement, are all necessary elements for a great education. Christine Sipherd Elementary earns an A+ !!!

It is a great school with lots of spirit and teacher dedication. Every student is made to feel welcomed. Parent participation has been optimistic. This school has a wonderful office staff and knows each student by name. I highly recommend.

I absolutely love this school! The teachers, principal and staff are awesome. Coming from Los Angeles I was concerned about finding a school that would increase my sons academic ability, because truth be told the school he was attending in Los Angeles was horrible. My son is in 2nd grade and since starting at Sipherd I have noticed a huge academic change. I'm extremely happy with this school and wouldn't want him going to any other elementary school. The only thing is that if a child doesn't pass, there is no summer school. He/she would have to repeat the school year.
