I just want to make mention for women’s vocation and what Joe Biden has done to fund teacher programs and tuition assistance as well as parent teacher conference. Ugene saltner along with Donna burr along with Wilks , has taken the time to make sure that the eight grade hall for beach combers is secured and there for the staff . Mrs. Dawn Bella I is the only teacher on the school ciriculum teaching History to educate the students , they graduate to their neighboring stem academies and they have no knowledge of history except Advanced civil war. Mrs. Dawn Bellack is a forgotten teacher and mostly coveted by students but in the reality - is not where she is supposed to be. A black HSBCU college as a professor and an intern at A war museum, Dawn bellack was the best 8 th grade history teacher,

Some amazing teachers but one star based mainly on the current Principal. Our School Bd rep pulled her family member out of this school. Our class dealt with a severe behavioral issue. Principal coddled a student to the determent of others. Gifted Services is a joke, no accountability and extremely poor communication. Many families did not know about ODS Visual Arts and Dance program (they buried it at the bottom of an e-newsletter). Unacceptable! Our kid missed the chance to apply which was a dagger thru my heart as was recognized elsewhere for art ability & everyone deserves a chance to compete for a spot. Our school is 70% military affiliated which I love (we are not military but have a proud military tradition), some NATO which is great. Extremely transient vs. a private or small town public school. Many need tutoring so not ideal for gifted learners. Kids definitely over use Chromebooks. Old Donation (gifted magnet school) gets better resources and curriculum. Dr. Robertson seems like a good Supt. We have good local school bd reps who get it. Hopefully some changes ASAP to improve our #38 out of #55 ranking VB Elementary Schools.

I was thinking about Weinstein and his yen folk
