My son attends Colona school and has since pre-school. He loves all of his friends and teachers there. Mrs. Toone is excellent! My son and I have had the pleasure of her being our kindergarten and 1st grade teacher and she has always kept me very informed of good and some bad behavior and I feel that we all have worked together to educate my child. I have witnessed bad behavior by parents and students that I feel should be addressed. For example, I have seen many parents smoking in the school parking lot and heard cursing while waiting outside to pick up my child (which wouldn't be an issue if my 2 year old wasn't also listening) I have also repeatedly heard older students screaming curse words after school. Also parents park in no parking zones during pick up and it makes it unsafe for little ones walking to cars and home! My child was raised to understand rules are rules and that behavior is unacceptable. Lets class it up a little parents set a good example and it would be a better place! The school itself is decent staff is friendly but the people outside need work. Also the pre school is great loved mrs whipple and mrs sottos!!
