Like a family! Teachers treat your kids like their own. Does great at communication- if anything there is too much! Parent friendly.

My kids started in Plattsburg Schools this year. I have nothing but good things to say about their experiences so far. The communication between the school and home is outstanding! The school district utilizes an app called SchoolWay which keeps me up to date throughout the day. In addition, the elementary teachers email a weekly newsletter. The elementary and middle schools send out a school wide newsletter each week as well. My kids are both in the Adventures program. They do AMAZING things with technology, including coding. Each teacher that I have interacted with is professional and caring. Ellis Elementary is a great school with dedicated teachers!

This school needs to improve on the teachers communication on grand parents day. We are great grandparents and grand parents. The teacher talked to everyone except us. I don't really know what the problem is. You also have bulling in your school. What has been done about this and what are you going to do. if a student's grade goes down or can't get their work done. Do you check to see what the problem is.. Children can be cruel also teachers can be too. So far I have not been impressed with your teachers. .

Overall, there is a lack of professionalism at Ellis Elementary. Specifically administrators, some teachers and staff are ineffective as leaders in an academic setting. There needs to be major improvements in dealing with students and parents. Yelling at students is an inappropriate means of communicating. Student's private information is also discussed freely and openly among staff and even to students. Parents can also be verbally accosted by the principal. On several occasions I have witnessed a parent and the principal disagreeing in public. This is neither professional nor appropriate. These scenes often escalate while students are leaving the school. The lunch staff and custodial staff also play a negative role in integrating with students. Never before have I seen staff allowed to yell at students. How this became the norm, in the 21st century, is bewildering. Obviously, communication is at a low level between parents and administrators. A professional code of conduct needs to be implemented. The school is also in poor shape. The steps to the lunch room are a danger to the children. The district has major budget problems.

I love Ellis because my child is made to fill like she belongs and is a part of something really positive. They work with gifted children to insure that they do not get bord. Great teachers that really care.
