by a parent
Thursday, May 31, 2012

I absolutely love this school! I was shocked when I saw that it only has 2 stars. This school is amazing - always has different clubs and activities for parents and the kids to get involved in, the teachers use technology to help teach the kids... Including iPads, smart boards.. They make videos and post them on a secured site for parents to watch. The principal is completely on the ball - we had a bully issue on the bus at the beginning of the year - within 30 minutes of sending an email to my son's teacher, the principal called me herself, and the following morning got on the bus and talked to the students. I definitely recommend this school! Close Quote
