Dovalina Elementary School

'My school is the best school ever. My teacher Ms Enriquez is awesome! She cares for all of us. She wants us to pass. This are the words of my son, I am glad he is happy. Every morning is a new challenge for him. But this year is his year. He likes his principal Mr. Castillo. Very respectable man. All faculty work as a team. They teach and have fun. The school strives for security and wellness of our children. Everything is well ordered. The PTA meeting are excellent and well informed. I have my boy that already passed to 6th and no longer is in this school. But since beginning his teacher have acknowledge him and got him to participate in various events. They even participated in a Television Program, Chess Clubs and Science project. My son never missed a day, enjoyed Bruni School to the max. I am proud of Bruni School. And appreciate all it gave to my sons to excel in life.

The Teachers and the staff are great. I am a very involved parent that come from a different city. I don't know if all schools in Laredo are like this but administration lacks professionalism. Since day one they put my child in Kinder instead of First Grade. Administration will just not cooperate with parents and they can be really rude. Luckily next year we are moving , so that he can attend a different school in the same city.

My son is in this school and the priciple/teachers are rude mean and dont put the effort to help my son. They give my son write ups and dont like him since the day i found out his teacher had thrown his box of crayons to the trash for coloring as a punishment since that day till now they put him in a desk facing the wall alone didnt let him play with the other classmates the other things that has happen is worse not even changing teachers work, the reason they changed my son from teachers was because i went to his school and they were having a private meeting without me knowing anything i was suppost to been there and called since my son is under age, i had to tell the principle the teacher and councilor that i was fed up with all this and i was going to speak with the lisd district my son loved school waking up in the mornings but not anymore now he cries and dont want to go at all. His been in school since he was 3 yrs old when my husband was in the Marines. Now i dont know what to do since his new teacher is being the same as the other, my son really needs titorials but his teacher said he dont need it since his not going to pass to 2nd.

This is a really great school with amazing teachers and leadership. We transferred here from Pirtle Elementary due to changes in the district boundaries. Parents are welcome at this school and are truely treated as partners. There has been an obvious effort by the teachers to get to know the kids and connect with them. The principle seems genuine in her actions, fair and honest. We are so grateful for this positive change.
