Wednesday, December 4, 2013

Love this school, we started here last year after moving back from Hawaii. The new principal that joined the school a month after we got here is fabulous. He listens to the parents and has made so many great changes to the school. The teachers we have had are top notch and so caring. Communication is great. We are a military family and this is our fourth elementary school in 3 different states (CT, VA, HI and VA again). This by far has been the best and i just love how great the communication is with my kids teachers and the new principal Close Quote
