Five Hawks Elementary School

Our son was enrolled in the class of a last minute hire teacher who constantly makes it clear she is overwhelmed.To make matters worse our son has come home multiple times with injuries from having sand thrown in his face and has even been picked up bleeding from the mouth. When we inquired, it took three days to get a response and the teachers basically denied anything happened. A week later at conferences the teacher states “he was punched in the mouth, you didn’t know?” When asked if it should have been reported she stated “yes, but I went home early that day because my live-in boyfriend got me sick”.She claimed there’s an “out of control” boy in the class and they are not sure what to do with him.On top of that she was so overwhelmed that she couldn’t even have the take home paperwork ready at conferences even with a full two days for MEA.It seems like they are understaffed and unprepared to properly take care of your children.I did speak with the principal who was apologetic, and offered to refund the money for the 3 days left this month, but the damage had already been done.

As parents we have loved watching our children thrive academically and spiritually every year. We appreciate the Christian approach to education and encouraging godly behavior. The small classroom sizes allowing more one on one attention and close-knit families make for a welcoming learning and social environment.

I would highly recommend St. Paul's Lutheran School to any family who wants a education-focused, faith-based learning environment for their child. The small classrooms allow the teachers to adapt and adjust to the needs of each individual child in the classroom. My daughter is ecstatic to go to school each and every day because she knows she is going somewhere that she is challenged, loved, and safe. SPLS is a wonderful environment for your child to learn and grow!
