Posted June 11, 2007

So far, I have been very pleased with this school. My son is finishing up kindergarten, and he had a very calm, patient and understanding teacher. My 1st positive inclination, I had made the right choice, was after only a couple days after he started school, the principal called him by name while saying hello. He knew all the kids names. It was a small thing, but meant a lot to me and it was proved to me over and over, how caring the teachers and other staff were for the kids. Very involved.

About the tests
