Open Quote My son attended this school, we moved into KS at the end of the school year and they still had time to do his IEP. They worked with my son and he improved in the short time he went to this elementary. The staff was very helpful and kind knowing that he has problems and I am very happy to say we will be attending again in the fall. Close Quote
