My son attended KGES for 2-3rd grade. My experience was awesome-from my initial inquiry about the school (prior to relocation)through my sons very last day. The Administration, the Teachers, the Maintenance all knowledgeable, caring, devoted, responsive and committed to excellence. I can't express enough gratitude to Principal Ms. Hannah, retired 2nd grade Teacher Mrs. Krause, Ms. McGlone, 3rd grade Teachers Ms. Murphy, Mrs. Peterson, Office staff: Mrs. Ballard, Mrs. Pritchard, Mr. Morrison. School Nurse Mrs. Justiss hands down the BEST School Nurse EVER. I can't forget KGES PTA-who are phenomenal. This team of top notch Professionals are trend setters for how schools should strive to be. KGES exemplifies school+parents+community=Successful Children. Keep up the awesome work. R.

My son is a special needs student and before he started kindergarten, I met with the assistant principal with professional diagnosis of autism and I requested an IEP. I also showed documentation of how he has behavior issues when he is in a situation that is hard for him. The school completely ignored my initial written paperwork. I called two IEP meetings during kindergarten and was denied both times. I was told during one meeting by the assistant principal that I needed to sign that he did not need a 504 plan because those are basically for children with wheelchairs. It was not until I got an advocate that I was told that 504 plans are for children that have a disability that affects them 24/7. Well, his autism does. I was finally able to get a 504 plan after paying a lot for an advocate to represent me. This year in first grade, my son was not placed in an inclusion classroom. When I found out within the first month of school, I requested that they meet the needs of my son and move him to an inclusion classroom. I was denied. I requested another IEP meeting, this time, we were able to move to the next step and start evaluations. They have 65 days from the initial meeting to conclude all evaluations. They have chosen to use every one of the 65 days. This puts my son into January without an IEP. They have not done what is in the best interest of my son and have kept him in a full classroom with a teacher that has NO training or knowledge of autism. I have seen my son decline. He is getting referrals on a constant basis and is basically now being treated like he's a bad kid. I have never been so disgusted in my whole life as watching people that are in the business of helping children completely ignore a child in need of help. Close Quote
