Pickett has made great strides in the past few years - as a partner of theirs in providing backpack programs, providing nutrition education through conversation maps and initiating a walking school bus, this school (staff, students and families) has been very enthusiastic and helpful in all areas! We look forward to many more years of partnering with them!

Having worked in several schools throughout my career, I haved enjoyed my time at Pickett the most. The teachers and administraters work well with each other are are supportive of one another. The staff in constantly involved in continuing education and professional development to stregthen their skills in the classroom. At Pickett, we promote and encourage the children to be respectful, responsible, and safe individuals. We promote positive behavior and we strive to instill values and sense of community within the school and classrooms. We are fortunate to have some of the latest forms of educational technology. We have close to ten Smartboards, ELMO systems, Senteo sets, a computer lab, two technology rooms, and each classroom has four to five computers. Parents regularly volunteer and are encouraged to be active and involved in their child's education at Pickett. At Pickett, we expect each child to reach their full potential and succeed.

Oh and I forgot. This school has been in academic emergency for 10 years and should close down.

I was a recent visitor to Pickett School as part of a community outreach program. During my time there I found that the building was clean and quiet. The teaching staff is a mixture of veterans and younger teachers who are binging new ideas to the building. The teachers use the newer technology like Smartboards to keep the students' motivated. Many positive programs were in place to reward the students. This seems like a very good place to send your children.

My children started attending Pickett last year and they love school. They come home excited about all the new things they have learned. Their teachers are in constant, open communication with me about any concerns as well as any triumphs. The staff there are wonderful and make family feel that they are welcome in the building any time. I have never seen a school celebrate children's achievements more than Pickett.

My children currently attend Pickett and although I had heard negative things in the past I can say that the school is absolutely wonderful and the negative comments are completely untrue. Pickett has many new teachers wil great credentials and who are working hard daily to ensure the students succeed. They have had many plays, and activities after school to encourage parent involvement and the teachers regularly communicate with parents through planners and phone calls which I LOVE! My kids are finally saying that they are enjoying school and I have seen just how much they have learned in the past year. I have noticed that the teachers also do a great deal of hands-on learning and spend a lot of time using new technology as well! I am proud to send my kids to PICKETT!
