Hayes Elementary School

I Heart Hayes! My oldest attended 3-6, and my middle and youngest are still attending. My kids love, love, love the school - if they're happy, I'm happy :) This is a wonderful school with excellent teachers and great support/office staff. The principle is caring with students, staff and parents. Outside looking in, there is a real team spirit here. Go Huskies!

I had two boys go to Hayes each from K-6. I have found the teachers to be excellent and caring. We were always extremely pleased with the entire school. My boys enjoyed all their years at Hayes.

Oh please... this school continues to go down hill. Test scores get lower, class sizes bigger, my child has 36 kids in the class, they are like sardines in there, the school is looking run down, it seems no one cares, you go there you see kids jackets left on the playground for days, buildings need to be fixed and painted, all in all its getting worse.

The new principal is very involved and has raised the level of acceptance.Parent participation is madated and teacher appearance has been addressed.A profesional environment generates learning.As a longtime Hayes parent, I have seen the changes over the past 3 years,and they are moving in the right direction.Hayes Elementary is as good a school.

Hayes has a new principal this year and things are looking great. She has a great handle on thngs and the problems of the past have pretty much disappeared. We have a great home and school club that is extrememly active. They sponsored a walk-a-thon last year to help the school purchase new computers for our classrooms. They are currently working on afterschool activities. An afterschool program for students needing extra help is . Playground staff is in full force & programs are in place to enhance the students play time while keeping them safe. We have a new website to help teachers, parents and the community stay up to date. There is a Yahoo Parent Connection that gets the word out to parents who enroll about school events and volunteer opportunities. There are parents who volunteer their time on crossing guard duty so each child makes it school safe.

I am very disappointed with the fact that there is no one available to help kids who need the extra help. Kids are falling behind. There is homework center 1 day a week. How helpfull is that? It's not. The school needs to pay more attention the the kids who need help. Help them come up to the level they need to be at. The strive on knowing they are a great school academically but what good is that if the kids have no idea what is going on.
