It seems like the school is overcrowded. There is barely room for all the people that attend the school programs, etc. Perhaps some of these programs could be split into two different nights. It's too bad that grandparents day will be
dropped for 2012. Probably of all, grandparents are the safest to have in the building. The school district also needs their vote. Otherwise, I think my
grandchildren are learning as expected.
Thanks. Close Quote

The teachers are wonderful for the most part. A very caring and strong teaching core especially in 4th and 5th grades. The administration is competent, but not exactly warm. Close Quote
