School Reviews
| 4 The principal retired. And he will be greatly missed.The asst. Principal also went to another school.She is missed and is now a principal.So much was achieved during their reign and is appreciatec.Prayfully, a new principal & asst. Will keep the children the number 1 priority.The children really need strong role models.There was probs. With bullying that need to be addressed more aggressively.Children need to feel safe at all times.Staff aides are very informative & helpful to students.I keep one teacher in my prayers who put on leave.She is greatly missed..May those who are working on the interest of the students feel pride in their achievements.May parents continue to support The school.All have a great 2018-2019 year.L - Posted by Parent - Daniels |
