I have two children in the lower grades at Good Shepherd. My third child will be starting preschool in the fall. I feel that my children are both receiving a quality Christ centered education. Do I agree with every decision made by each teacher each day? No. Are there things I would like to see changed?

My child has been put in way to many adult conversations and put in situations that she never should have been, by this one teacher.
