Our daughter started kindergarten 06-07 school year and her teacher team -Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Crighton are amazing. I was so impressed by their organization (newsletter goes home every Fri with so many details of their week, family projects to complete 4 times a year, Mother's Day Tea, and lots more.)

The PTA is really involved as well, funding many great initiatives. The gym has a climbing wall for PE. The principle, Melissa Burns, is very attentive and calls once a week with automated phone updates and reminders. I love this school and am so very impressed with it, they are moving to a year round calander this coming year, but I know that the level of caring and organization in this school will carry us through this change!
