I never received timely notification relating to school activities, meetings, picture days, etc. (well if you count 2 days with a note sent home via the child's back pack). I believe there could be action taken to improve the management of the school and boost parent involvement.

Budget is not always the problem, overall care and concern should be given to educating Florida's young children. Read less
