I feel very confident that my children are safe under her direction and believe that she needs to be strict to keep the excellent discipline she has over the school.

They don't show any effort in hearing a parent out and their attitude stinks and can be very rude at times. As for the principal, she can be nice sometimes but if it's not her way or say you can forget about it. There's too much favortism and I'm taking my son out. Read less

Ms. Lopes who is the principal took my daughter by the hand and personally took her around to see the other children who wore glasses in other classes and explained to her how she herself wears glasses and the reasons why they were so important.
