I placed my children in Saucier Elem. (1st grader and 3rd grader) and I was shocked at what went on at this school. There were teachers sharing my confidential parent/teacher confrences with other parents. Then, the teacher and parents were discussing it over Facebook. I took this info to the school board and nothing was done. Thank goodness my husband is a teacher for another school district that has a much better reputation in the area and we moved them and couldnt be happier. The teachers and principal at this school are very unprofessional and I wouldnt send my dog to this school. Close Quote
