Raised in a background early child development and having the tools and family to go to about what I witness and heard and seen. I want the best for my child so I will continue out this year, but hope and praying for a better district.

I've had my son here for the last 2 years my son is in kindergarten and they love it here. I'm very confident that it is an improving school. Yay! for this years PTA, they are doing such an excellent work

This school is well attended and is getting the job done. The principal has a no bars attitude , that gives off a feel of a parole officer but it gets the job done. The staff is well organized and the school is very clean great place for children.

A colleague drew my attention to the comment from May 4, 2012 which references the work of my kindergarten students. The spelling standard for Kindergarten is section 1.2 of the Written and Oral English Language Conventions of the English Language Arts Content Standards. The standard requires students to spell independently by using pre-phonetic knowledge, sounds of the alphabet, and knowledge of letter names. My students work meets this standard. The three students who chose to write about dinosaurs made that choice independently and used their knowledge of consonant sounds, short vowel sounds, and long vowel sounds to spell without any help from me. Instead of choosing simple consonant-vowel-consonant words like cat or dog, these three students challenged themselves to hear the seven sounds in the word dinosaur. I am very proud of them.
