by a parent
Friday, August 3, 2012

I have three children, and all have attended Jonathan Elem. It is a school filled with caring knowledgable teachers. My son has an IEP and we work closely with the Special Education Department, which is terrific. The Principal, Mrs. Wittman-Beltz is wonderful as well. She knows us all by name, even with such a large school. She is all business, but with a soft side.

I would pick no other school to send my children. Close Quote
