My kids have attended Canyon Breeze since 2001. The turnover rate has definately impacted the success of this school. There is virtually no discipline and it is evident some teachers do not want to be there. How can we encourage our children to be successful when the adults are giving up. I'm disappointed.

My daughter has attended Canyon Breeze since it was built. Initially, the school had teachers who motivated the children and who were interested in teaching. However, during my daughters 4th grade year up until this year (7th grade), I have seen a decline in those two areas. Teachers have come and gone,

Very patient with the kids, and parents as well. I was a helper once a week and saw this first hand. My daughter learned so much from her, and she made it fun for the kids.
