I am very impressed with the Middle School teacher, Mrs. Tyler. She teaches a Life skill class of which my granddaughter attends. She was in school last year, but is now virtual because of the pandemic. Mrs. Tyler has done a great job teaching virtual as well as in person teaching. She sees that each child is learning well and has the tools needed to succeed. She deserves much praise and thanks.
