St. Augustine School

My family could not be happier with Hale-Dale elementary schools. The teachers and staff are supportive and invested in their students. One of our daughters receives special education services and we are so pleased with her progress. This is a wonderful community school.

The majority of substitutes ( long and short term) have no qualifications for teaching and have no experience/knowledge of 504 accommodations or classroom instruction/ management and de escalation strategies. There GT program is basically non existent.The principal delegates the majority of disciplinary and parent collaboration to other staff. While being un receptive to parent concerns. Staff contract renewals are based on their ability to be apart of the team( click). Every staff that has made a positive contribution to my child’s education has not been retained. Turnover seems high.

My son went to St. Michael School from grades PK-8. I cannot imagine him having gone anywhere else. What a wonderful community of caring staff and fellow parents. My son had some difficult times and we were so supported by the staff. I will always be thankful without any regrets for this very important part of our lives!
