i loved this place so much omg i miss it

Love this school, feel so lucky to have our children here. Great teachers who love what they do, amazing parent engagement and PTO support for learning benefits like Spanish, science and the arts. Kind and mindful kids and parents in our experience. The only negative I can see is the amount of sugar/candy given out, but hey, it seems to work if you look at test scores… Blown away by this school.

A horrible experience today with the front desk at the school where I have picked up a child for the past five weeks and was told I could not today because my name was not on the list. I work for a foster care program. All that is fine because I understand that my name wasn’t on the list and it should have been but then the woman at the front desk, Gigi Mercado, got severe attitude with me. She heard me saying something to the little tiny baby I had in my arms, and then she got snarky and wouldn’t stop arguing with me. I told her it was her job to de-escalate the situation by not arguing back with me and she couldn’t do that. She was very difficult and not kind whatsoever! When I called the school to ask what her name was, they didn’t want to give it to me. She sounded like she just wanted to argue instead of helping out a parent.
