Blue Lick Elementary School

My 2 daughters have been homeschooled since the pandemic. This past year was their first time experiencing the public school setting. They were both in second grade, but different classrooms, and they blossomed academically, socially, and mentally. They both recieved awards that boosted their self esteem. I feel like Okalona is a smaller school setting which in return allows the teachers to build a closer relationship with the students, also allowing more one on one time for teachers to work closely with students in a whatever various way that connects with the students. I am so happy that my children was able to attend Okalona Elemtary and I plan on them continueing their education there until they graduate to middle school. I would most definitely recommend Okalona Elemtentary. Mr. Hondadel is a wonderful, hands on, involved, caring teacher. He teaches in ways that makds it fun to learn which leaves an imprint on children. For example, they incubated and hatched duck eggs, they got to experience it all first hand in the classroom! Super cool. He will leave a lasting impression on my daughter throughout her school years and maybe even adult hood.

Teachers don’t know how to communicate well with students an parents

Went there for 5 years of my life very good school definitely recommend

Three of my four children attended this school and it was fantastic

Daughter is in 3rd grade and has had a issue with bullying sense 1st grade. They pretend to address the issues and fix them. Nothing gets done and when they are proven to be in the wrong they try to turn it around on your child even with facts/proof. I recently got told not the question how they run things so I Contacted the board of education and also have spoken with a couple people from news channels who have taken my story. Hoping to have some justice.

I am truly heart broken being a single mom to a little boy. Being a mother is tough and being a mother who didn't have a mother growing up i cant explain how hard it is. wondering if im making the right choice doing the right thing.. with that being said a My son was in the 2nd grade 2021-2022 with Covid he missed a lot of 1st grade you really don't understand how important 1st grade is until you are hit in a situation like i am of course hes behind .at this point whos child is not i was contacted by his teacher asking my thoughts of holding my son back to redo the 2nd grade due to his reading.. When i asked if i could let the father of my child voice his option i was shot down. Needless to say i decided against it.. with the split classes my son coming out of a 1st/2nd grade split thinking that he would be in a 2nd/3rd split i thought for sure we could get my son where he needed to be with the upcoming year only to find out that because i didn't hold him back to repeat the 2nd grade .. they pushed him right on in to a all 3rd grade class no split class.. They tell me that they have the best intentions for my Child and I'm sorry to say that is a lie. I am beyond now worried about my son i I NOW feel like i have failed my Son.... its the worst the feeling in the world.. I JUST NEED TO KNOW HOW THIS IS OK.. HE MISSED ALL OF 1ST GRADE DUE TO COVID - HE WAS PLACED IN A 1ST/2ND GRADE SPLIT FOR 2ND GRADE.. SO PLEASE TELL ME WHY WOULD HE NOT BE PLACED IN A 2ND/3RD GRADE SPLIT IF YOU THOUGHT I SOULD HAVE HELD HIM BACK TO REDO THE 2ND GRADE.. i never been more let down in my life and they dont care
