Donna Shepard IS is in the midst of growing a transformative culture of student leaders as well as building a positive environment for children to learn and grow. I couldn't be more proud of our time at DSIS, and I look forward to my younger children experiencing the same as my daughter has.

MJS has so many loving and EXCELLENT teachers who are committed to excellence. My child has attended this school since kindergarten and is currently is 2nd grade. My kid is one of the youngest in his grade, struggles with reading, and has a disability, however, this school’s culture of excellence and care ensures that he grows every year. Mr. Legeune is a wonderful principal. He knows his students by name and you can tell he loves and cares for students while also ensuring staff are supported. He is retiring this year and will be missed. Ms. Proctor is an outstanding AP and she is a great advocate for students and teachers. She has been a blessing while navigating how to best support the growth of my kid, us as parents, and my child’s teachers with the challenges my kid has faced. Ms. Bickford is a wonderful teacher who does an awesome job bridging learning at school to support parents at home. She is a rockstar in the classroom and brought my child from well below scores to 80%< accuracy and fluency who’s a student who struggled to know many letters in Kindergarten and got him READING by the end of 1st grade. Ms. Johnson has also been wonderful and the data shows again the my child’s reading score went up from a 14 to a 62 (50 points) and the school year is not over. I have found MJS teachers do great work in their classes, but student success must be supported at home and parent involvement is crucial to student success. I have found most teachers at MJS to be great collaborators with parents and all teachers put the kids first. Ms. Lundeen, the new nurse this year, also stands out and she is the most kind, sweet, and loving person. She provides outstanding care to my child who must see the nurse daily! The teachers and staff that are a part of the before and afterschool are ALL awesome. They start and end our school day with the highest quality of care, love, and support. Their program provides awesome variety and keeps my kid happy even when he has longer days than most kids. We love them!!!

This school is super unorganized and my kids counselor doesn't care about him

Run, run, run. This is about the worst school possible if you care for child in anyway. If your kid loved school going in, it does not take them long to dread it. Administrators are nothing but a joke. Worst kind of role model you can have. Its hard to tell a child to respect adults when the administrators is this bad. Just do not understand how a school system can have such a large number of incompetent teachers and administrators.
