MRS POA DOES /NOT/ KEEP YOU IN THE KNOW

I have had several children over course some ten years at this school. I feel like with all public education it is a mixed bag. I think many of the teachers are excellent and do a great job but I have seen turnover and loss of better teachers.I general it is well to do suburban school. The school is very tailored for household with stay at home parent or with extremely flexible schedules. Programming including teacher conferences are all done with expectation that you are free all day. Field trips and programs often have more chaperones than kids and programming is always packed. Parents start lining up at 12/1pm for 315 dismissal!The school is not tailored for disadvantaged, struggling or simply a work traditional hours.The education component is ok. Be prepared to teach your child and truly check in frequently with what you know they need to learn. If you rely on the teachers and reports you wlll think you child is fine for a very long time only to learn (often too late) they are behind or struggling in an area.Can not comment on current leadership principal - they are much more out of view and absent in comparison to previous.Finally a special word about the front office. The ladies who work there are difficulty to say the least. They are a bit unfriendly, unevenly apply "rules/standards" which are not official written policy of school or district. They are your primary interaction with the school and really should work on doing better.

First of all, I understand that each parent will have a different experience when it comes to their school. I have had a very positive experience with Bayside. My son is a 6th grader in one of Honor's classes. It has been more than 5 months since he started here, and we have seen nothing short of full respect and caring by the administrators and his teachers. Starting from the principal Mr. Thomas, who stays after the class dismissal till the last student leaves, I love the enthusiasm of the staff I see at Bayside! My son loves school there. He talks very highly about his teachers as well. As a parent, I have always been greeted with respect as well.Lastly, what I noticed is that for those kids who actually are interested even a little in learning something, there is definitely a working&learning environment.
