Hillside School

I’m honestly really impressed with the school. They do a fantastic job of teaching not only the traditional 8 elements in school, but have a hands on garden the kids tend to, a growing fruit orchard the kids help plant, maple trees they will tap for syrup, teach about composting, meditation, kindness, safety (emotional and physical)… Many school could take a huge tip from what they have going on there!

Paige Elementary is a place where I’ve witnessed, firsthand, a cultivation of love and genius. Dr. Jean-Pierre’s vision of creating a collaborative and cooperative school community is becoming a reality each year despite challenges. All families, every parent, student, and staff member counts. Not only is it inspiring to observe students’ learning but, at the same time, educators learning from their students. Overall, how they learn. What’s working is a growth mindset that’s geared towards how we all can improve in establishing a school environment that is engaging educationally & conducive to learning. I’m proud to be a part of the Paige Panda Family and SCSD that is thriving together towards academic excellence!

The past two years Keane Elementary has changed in such a positive way! It’s become so family focused! They have introduced so many new activities like books and basketball! Pushing for fun & learning! They’re constantly showing the parents they want them be involved and feel included; by celebrating Mother’s Day and Father’s Day at Keane. The new principal is great! I’m so grateful for all the staff and can’t thank them enough for all of their dedication during and outside of school hours. They have sacrificed nights and Saturdays to show the students they care and love to see them happy! Thank you Mrs.Messler for all the positive changes you’ve implemented these past two years. Not only do i feel part of the Keane family! I see the love you guys have for every child that walks in those doors. From safety staff, office staff, teachers, guidance counselors and the principal herself have been such a blessing to not only my children but to the community!

I’m very happy with my child’s experience at St. Kateri’s. How many kids do you know who get up set when there is a snow day? I don’t know many. But that is how my daughter feels. She is so happy to get back to her teacher and friends every day. I feel she is truly cared about at this school. Not only are the teachers caring, but the principal has to be one of the kindest and caring people I have ever met. It is clear that her number 1 priority is the well being of ALL the students at this school. I feel lucky that my daughter has so many caring people around her at school. And to me that is the most important thing. Her feeling of being safe and happy at school.
