Lovely school and faculty. No social or family events AT ALL. In the two years we’ve been at this school not one in-person PTA meeting, book fair, harvest festival, Daddy daughter dance. Literally nothing. No student directories to connect with families, and make playdates. It is the strangest, loneliest school outside school hours. Covid was a factor, of course, but after awhile here now I notice other schools have events and potlucks, celebrations often. This school is an anomaly that way. I have brought this to the principals attention, the school district even. There are a few people on a monthly Zoom for PTA you have to seek to find info on. If we weren’t so close to timing out of this school grade wise I would transfer out for this reason alone. Elementary were the sweetest years of my older sons life, in another state, and I am really sad for this part of the experience here. It’s been really hard for a new kid to get friendships to stick outside of class and during the summer.I write this review with genuine hope that something can be done. There’s not even a community Facebook group families can interact in. A gaping whole in social-emotional development.
