Clean, safe school *No parents are allowed past the gates when dropping off children Tues-Fri* LOVE IT. However, they are allowed for Monday morning assembly, but are escorted out quickly when it is done. The teachers both of my children have had these past few years have been wonderful. Some definitely more than others. Any issues that we've had have been quickly resolved. I also suggest enrolling your children in the World Fit for Kids after school program (2:43 - 5:30) that is currently run by Coach Janet as soon as possible. The program consists of art, nutritional activities, sports, homework help along other activities, and the coaches are amazing as well.

I am disappointed with the administration and current K teacher for my child whom we suspect might have ADHD symptoms. My child is smart and has achieved academic goals for the year but has behavioral issues. I feel the school's administration and teachers are not trained enough how to handle children who might have special needs. We haven't gone a step further since we are still observing the child but all I get from the teacher are constant whining about his behavior instead of a multi-dimensioanl approach/method to make the child respond to instructions in the classroom. I am aware of my child's weakness but I need recommendations, solutions and constructive actions to make the child respond to instructions in the classroom insated of negative approach that could only aggravate and not alleviate the situation. This school lacks professional training for its administration staff and teachers.
