Manatee Elementary School

Our principal is a micro manager. I have had kids at the school for years. From my understand the teacher moral is once again at a all time low. I know teachers have been in tears because of her dictitorial way. I love the school and the teacher but , the principal has never been a teacher and doesn't understand how to teach let alone make her staff happy..

I am a former teacher who worked under the current principal there at Manatee and I must say that she is an asset to any school or organization she chooses to work for. She is truly dedicated and highly capable of pushing those children to new heights. She also remembers that they are children and need that nurturing that the parent spoke about earlier; addiontally her high expectations for staff along with her support adds to the rapport she had always had as a leader. I am proud to see her excelling as I always knew she would.

Fantastic teachers was a great neighborhood school! However, all extracurricular activites have been non-existent this year. Wish the new admin. would feel appreciative about the strong parent involvement.

My son is in first grade and I have to say that I have nothing but great things to say about the school. The staff is welcomong, caring and competent. My son loves to go to school and he is learning academically way ahead what I would have expected.
