this school gets alot of school shooting threats and autistic kids are bullyed and beat

We recently relocated to the Nashville area with 6 children 4 in elementary school. We also homeschooled for the past 7 years before that my children have been to schools in Florida Sarasota, Illinois , Moorpark California and Ventura California. I also worked with parents to fight a bullying problem in Kern County California . So my exposure to public schools is strong. I feel so grateful and blessed to have found Van Buren, Two of my daughters are struggling and it has been NOTHING but encouraging and understanding with a open arm welcome.And a ton of effort to to figure out how to improve their skills by seeing how hey learn best, The teachers, I can not explain how awesome they are. My Four year old has never been to a sitter or daycare and is SO comfortable going to school everyday. His teacher FULLY sees him as a individual ,and his personality and cares for her students like a parent would. In-fact most of the teachers have their own children in this school and you can see the care that goes in to them. I recently sat in on the PTO meeting and well this school is in need of a new playground and they are actively working to raise the money for one they focus more on what can we do for our students , What experiences can we give them and make it so they can be there and take part, So they make many of their events free, The Office staff is always welcoming and friendly that is with 50 million things going on. The principle is always available to talk and has a great connection with the kids, They have a awesome science room and art room. And the students plant a garden and maintain it all year. I really encourage any new parents looking for a school to go do a walk through meet the Staff, It really is a hidden Gem.

My experience but most importantly my children's experience has been excellent .
