Donald D. Stalker Elementary School

I have never felt more involved with my children's schools before. Ridge Crest offers parents so many opportunities to stay in touch with the teachers and principal. My favorite though is the opportunities to volunteer and participate in activities during and after school with PTA as well as the school.

THE TEACHERS ARE AWESOME! I WANT ALL OF MY KIDS TO GO HERE!! THE TEACHERS DESERVE A RAISE.

The kindergarten program is fantastic, and there are some great teachers. However, the administration is quite disappointing. They are difficult to connect with and don't return messages or reply to comments. They even sent out politically charged messages encouraging people on how to vote, which was highly inappropriate. When I reached out to discuss this message with them, they never responded. They had a day off scheduled on their school calendar and lunch menu for a Monday, then sent out a phone message on a Saturday telling families "Oh, never mind. Now there IS school on Monday". They also try to charge a $50 supply fee at the beginning of the year, which is illegal. Of course, they can't force it, but many families think they have to pay. This is not the case.
