This school is truly focused on building community. I have two kids at Club and each teacher for the last 5 years has been kind, responsive, knowledgeable, respectful and energetic. The staff and principal work tirelessly to improve and respond to needs. For example, during our first or second year the parent survey asked for improvement in school and teacher communication. The staff and teachers then implemented a school-wide communication tool and stuck with it, greatly improving communication between teachers, families and leadership. And teachers were so creative and flexible when the school board kept the schools remote until March. This is a place where everyone knows your name and you are truly cared about as part of a whole. The guidance counselor is amazing, too.
