Friday, February 8, 2019

The teachers are caring, compassionate and have great communication skills with parents. We get an email from the teacher every Sunday stating what they will be focusing on for the week ahead. My kindergartener loves going every single day and has already increased her reading level after only 4 months. The Principle takes pride in what she does, she is out there every day helping with drop-off and pick up and even eats lunch with the students sometimes. Very happy with Field Elementary.

I would give more stars if the teachers were actually caring, compassionate and had good communication skills with parents, but unfortunately kindergarten teachers at this school lack all of those capabilities, and don't seem to care to improve their attitudes either. 3 major issues, lack of safety, teachers are easily frustrated, principle does not take parent's complain seriously.
