Dimaggio Plan in Riverbend Run : The Majors by Lennar, Southport, FL 32409

My son is in Kindergarten and they are teaching him how to read, but that's the only good thing I have to say unfortunately. He has been to daycare and pre k, I wish i was zoned for his old school. They have made it to where he hates going to school. He has a formal discipline referral (which is what they give for students fighting or threatening someones safety) for standing on a chair in the lunchroom and he has been sent to ISS for coloring on a laptop. I have been called to speak to a guidance counselor for his use of the word booty and him dancing. Again, he is 5. I've gotten so many messages about him not listening or paying attention. As I have stated previously I have never had this many issues with a school or learning facility before. This is kindergarten for crying out loud.

Deane Bozeman is unique in providing pre-k through 12 under one roof. This creates a family- like environment and fosters community connections. Mr. B, the principal is extremely involved, attending almost every student event! I am not sure how he finds time for all of it. Due to everything being on one campus, students are afforded maximum flexibility in their classes. A high flying seventh grader can take a ninth grade math class. A fifth grader, who has taken private lessons, could play in the concert band! The Agricultural program is top notch and they have an award winning FFA team. They also have other outdoor education opportunities. There is a Collegiate School on campus for high schoolers which offers many AP classes and duel enrollment. Mr. P is much loved by The Sound of Roaring Thunder Band. He gives all kids a place to belong and fosters a love of the arts. There is also a Technology club and many other extra-curricular opportunities. For the younger children there are Thanksgiving and Christmas luncheons for families to celebrate together. The high school senior boys dressed up as elves and assisted at the luncheon. It is great to see the whole school pull together for these events and it makes everyone feel like a big family. I don't have any experience with their special education programs. There is some bullying between middle level students- as at any school. When my child was bullied, the school contacted me promptly and the bully received punishment. I felt the administration handled it in an appropriate and timely manner.Your children have an opportunity to receive a great education at this school. The smaller environment means your child will have lots of personal interaction with a staff that cares about them as an individual and their about their education. Getting involved with various opportunities early- pep squad, running club, book club, PTA, etc will help you and your child integrate into the Deane Bozeman family quickly and you will find many new friends.
