Paul W. Carleton Elementary School

I have 2 kids in this school and while I'm happy with it, there is still room for improvement. If parents are invited to the school for any reason (Halloween parade, Back to School Night, etc) they pretty much kick you out with an announcement over the PA system. I'm unable to be a room parent due to having my younger child with me part of the day (siblings aren't allowed at classroom functions) and I feel like I am missing out on a lot of things with my older child. They also do things like the Spring Concert in the middle of the day. That just screams "we don't care about the working parents" and then there is the fact that each child gets sent home with a letter saying they are only allowed 2 people to attend and siblings aren't invited. The teachers we have met have been great, the Child Study Team has been more than helpful (both my kids get therapy through the school) but some of these policies make it very hard to get involved.
