Breakthrough Ii

The staff at Rawson need to get it together! They need to improve their disciplinary methods. Who is really in control? In the last couple of years the school has not been doing as well as it was when my child first transfered there! There needs to be better communication between the staff and the parents! More focus should be on the lesson and not whether the child has on the correct color uniform for what ever grade they are in. It would be nice to learn about events, trips, class pictures ect in advance and I dont mean two days prior to when its happening! Parents are not getting a proper notice. hope this school year is a better one than last year, Rawson has so much potential!

My son is staying back and nothing was done to prevent it no tutoring extra work nothing and I fought for this not to happen but it's nothing I can do at this point

This is an excellent school.My son started in PK4, in Montessori schools classrooms are mixed, so he was in the class with 3, 4 and 5 y.o. There is a very nice environment in the classroom and older kids/kids that are more advanced support the rest of the kids. My son was able to establish the rhythm that worked for him, he joined the 5 y.o. in many lessons and he ended the school year reading simple texts.We visited the classroom and loved it. It is structured and organized, but the kids have a lot of agency. During the visit, kids were supposed to teach the parents some of their lessons, and it was fantastic and sweet. We love the way Montessori approaches math.I miss a bit more of social-emotional learning focus, but I believe that it is a regular issue in U.S. classrooms.It's a great school and I am very happy kids with all economic backgrounds can have access to a Montessori education.
