Eccs Elementary

N/A

My three children have schooled at Jonathan for one year and we’ve had the best experience. We’ve had very supportive admin and teachers who always reached out to us and let us know what’s happening in the school. My kids loved this school too and one day we’ll be back to Jonathan. The intercultural specialist was such a wonderful person too connecting with families even during the summer to link us to community resources for our kids.

The teachers at this school are excellent, going above and beyond my expectations to make sure my kiddo was set up to be successful in the classroom. The principal and dean of students are both very involved and active (not hiding in an office all day). There has rarely been a time where I've stopped by the school and not run into one of them in the hallway, the front office, or the lunchroom. You can tell they care about the students, as well as the staff. Everyone seems happy to work at the school, and my child is comfortable speaking to any staff member (from paras to the principal) if he needs help. That says a lot! We consider ourselves very fortunate to have Bluff Creek as our zoned school.

My son has been attending WLS for 3 years now. I have watched him grow so much. He had been so bored and underchallenged in a typical elementary school setting before. WLS has pushed him to grow ahead of his grade level in math, spelling and reading. This school has also surrounded him with unconditional love, personalized support, and the comfort to be himself. He looks forward to going every day!

My son is thriving here. The other day, he said, "I think I was born to speak Spanish." He loves learning about Spanish culture, geography and of course, the language. He is a gifted learner and the Spanish immersion gives him an extra challenge, which keeps his interest. Staff noticed his shyness and put him a social skills building group, which is helping him make friends and build confidence.
