I am a parent whose child attends this school. The teachers and staff at this school are AMAZING. I had a issue regarding my child and when I notified the school about the issue it was taken care of right away with no run arounds. It's nice to know that if you have any concerns or issues that they will be dealt with in a professional and timely matter especially when it comes to our children. Thank you so much for not only doing a great job of teaching your students but looking out for them as well. Thank you so so much. Love this school.
