Salish Middle School

Great school, amazing teachers and staff. They truly believe all children are capable of success, NO EXCEPTIONS! Much less homework than another area school some of my 5 children have gone too, not quite as academically rigorous but they focus on developing the whole kid. My middle child has autism, several kids make it a point to say hi everytime they see my child. The special Ed group is amazing, and have found a way make a gen ed classroom work for my child and others. If not for their hard work on our behalf, my child would have had to transfer to another school, something I am very grateful we didn't do... I try to make sure all my kids are treated as equally as possible, if he had to go to a different school than everyone else, it would have destroyed what self confindence he does have. Years ago life skills classes were moved to another school, but have started again for younger grades. It is a good option to have available, I for one am glad it is back! It may not be the most rigorous, but everyone has the support they need to do well, whatever that looks like. Plus kids are taught to be caring and compassionate! A good mix of backgrounds, and the school tries find ways to celebrate them all.
