Springville

I was utterly unimpressed with the TK program. Parents sympathized with teachers during covid knowing they had to pivot and go outside their comfort zones however there was hardly any communication, which should of been a top priority with students working from home. We were told they would need to do 2 hours of work solo at home however 90% of the time nothing was sent or established. I know myself and multiple parents asked about this and the teacher just kept saying how busy she was and couldn’t get to it. I know for a fact the curriculum was created and printed elsewhere so I’m not sure what she was busy with, especially since she wasn’t emailing parents or grading material. Her teacher didn’t utilize any of the online programs (that she had to setup) and was not supported at all by the administration to get trained to do so. My daughter wasn’t challenged and was on an iPad learning GoNoodle dances during precious in person time. She excelled in reading but during reading groups was excluded, which is fine for the teacher to focus on other struggling students, but she was never given additional reading instruction. I’m thankful we only had this teacher for TK and this wasn’t her Kindergarten year
