Is not what we expected. Moved here to better our grandsons life, instead, it's been worsened!

My oldest son has gone to Canadochly since he was in Kindergarten. With the exception of one teacher who we had issues with, his other teachers have all been exceptional. My youngest son started this year and is in Kindergarten now. He loves his teacher and has learned a lot from her. There's a lot that I love about this school. It's small and the staff is great about learning all the kid's names and even getting to know all the parents. When I come into the office, I don't even have to tell them my child's name because they know right away who my child is. Previous teachers that my oldest child had are constantly asking me how he is and how he's doing and remember him by name. The school always supplies everything my kids need at the beginning of the year. I haven't had to shop for school supplies the entire six years my kids have attended Canadochly. The only thing I've had to purchase are a few 3 ring binders since they have a habit of tearing and ripping. But pens, pencils, crayons have all been supplied to my children every year that they've attended Canadochly.The PTO puts on a really nice May Fair each year for the children. They have activities throughout the year that the kids can participate in. While there could always be more, I think the PTO does a great job with the activities they do plan and the field trips that they help fund. Now, my gripe. This school has no air conditioning. It gets darn hot in there. I felt awful sending my children into that at the beginning of the school year when I knew how hot it was going to be. I went to back to school night and honestly thought I was going to pass out from the heat. While I hate to see the school incur the expense for air conditioning for just 1-2 months of use, I wish there was something that could be done to cool the rooms when there is excessive heat days. All in all though, Canadochly has treated us well. My kids love the school and most of the teachers. Issues had been dealt with right away for the most part. And supplies seem to be in good shape for use. My oldest leaves this year for Eastern Middle School so I'm hoping they are as good.

The best thing about EYHS is the community. This is because of teachers who treat the students like family and will go above and beyond to help any student who is having difficulty who is also willing to do the work. Switching schools can be a horrifying thing but the easygoing an open nature of the students made this transition a breeze and made me glad for the change. Everyone in all of my classes are all just wonderful and friendly people, the culture that the students have built is that if you are in our class we are going to accept you and be your friend. What needs to change is the principle Timothy Mitzel, repeatedly he has talked a big game about how rules and new policies need to be followed, then he just doesn't follow through. Since I have never had disciplinary actions taken against me, these big announcements that he makes are the only times I have any interaction with his authority, and when he doesn't follow through on what he says, his authority just becomes a joke.
