This was our first year in public school and we were blown away with this school. Not only do the staff love and care for the students, the culture is incredible. The PTO is extremely involved and puts a lot of love and energy into raising money for the school and celebrating students and staff on a regular basis. The school has many events, parades, and parties that give students amazing things to look forward to. As for teachers, we have only had one so far but she was PHENOMENAL. Mrs. Baird gives 100% to her students and genuinely cares about their success. She does a great job at making the class feel like a family, holding everyone accountable to the rules, building each other up, cheering each other on, etc. She goes above and beyond and we never once felt any negative feelings about sending our son to school. He came home daily telling us about phonic rules and how to use them. He talked about how they learned how to set boundaries, be a good friend, and be a great citizen. My son also speaks very highly of Mrs. Sutherly, Officer Mark, Mrs. Achille, Mrs. Staley, Mr. Samuel, and Mr. Bill! I highly recommend this school!
