My child was injured on their 6th day attending. I've demanded an incident report in regards to the matter, only for everyone to COWER behind their clipboards. I've contacted the risk management team, Maria Vazquez, and even Rocky Hanna. I'm sick of being given the run around all in the name of hurricane Ian generating a backlog of paperwork. How hard can it be to complete one incident report and render it unto me!? These impudent fools believe that this lack of transparency will only seek to protect them from liability. Yet, instead it only solidifies their intent to put their students AT RISK at the cost of tax payer money. To them, children are only bodies to meet their budget.

This was my son's first school year at this school. As we arrived from another country his difficulties were very great. But my son adapted very easily with the students, teachers and staff. Everyone is very committed to helping. We have chosen not to change him from school in this new school year that will begin. We know have better schools nearby. But we believe that here is the best for our son. We can not count only on evaluation, we have to observe how secure he is feeling.

My son and I enjoy the school and all the activities. His teachers are very dedicated to teaching children to be life long learners.

This school is focused on the needs of each child and all staff members work towards providing academic opportunities for all. They are responsive, caring, and a valuable part of the community.

My son has finished attending Conway. His years at Conway Elementary School has been a great experience for all of us. All of his teachers have been wonderful. They went out of their way to help and support him. My son has a learning disability and I love how his ESE teacher and his homeroom teacher worked together in one class. He never felt excluded from the rest of the class. The principal and the staff has always been friendly and professional. This is one of the few schools that has not cut one or more of their Special Area classes of Art, PE or Music.

Horrible...To start they don't have enough place to park (on activities you have to get early to be able to park). Those that are car riders it's a nightmare.. cars are all the way long Lake Margaret Dr and the wait it's terrifying specially on hot days. The staff at the front office are not that polite, very rude. When you have an emergency and has to pick up your kid 30 minutes before the bell ring (remember it's an emergency) they don't aloud you (you have to wait those 30min to be able and get your kid). I guess Parents here at this school doesn't have rights with their own kids. For last, Why they ask you on the very first day a list for people that are aloud to pick your kid on emergency basic if they are not going to let them have your kids without a note. Helloooo it's an emergency What about if the mom it's at the hospital or worst? Does the emergency pick up list is not valid? The principal is always lost and never ever solve a problem, always is somebodyelse who is in charge. What kind of a principal to give an example. She only give a fake smile and only care about special events that's all.

I can NOT stand this school. There is complete lack of communication between the teachers and staff themselves, yet alone between them and the parents. I am in full agreement that parent involvement is nessecary for success but this school relies on it so much that I feel I should be recieving a paycheck. The principal and teachers here have given me the impression that due to budget cuts they don't have to work as hard for their salary since it's not a very good one. They use parent involvement as a manipulative excuse to send home homework on things that the teacher hasn't taught in class and we (the parents) are left teaching, not helping, it to our kids. I might as well homeschool my children. Every event that I have attended (school plays, meet the teacher, fudraising events, etc.) I have listened to the staff talk down to the parents like we were children that couldn't follow directions. They are rude and unprofesional. My daughter's transfer here is such a total disappointment that we have decieded to move, AGAIN, before she gets settled too much.
