Pine Bend Elementary School

My son has now completed Kindergarten and first grade here and I have been impressed with the ability of the teachers to recognize and meet each child's abilities. My son's K teacher felt he was gifted within weeks of the school year and was able to incorporate some more stimulating work right away. Within months the district had extensive testing done,more appropriate placements and he is happier. Similarly, I have seen her and other staff work with a couple of children who barely spoke English and the beginning of the school year and they now write complete sentences! My son really enjoys all of the teachers and staff; they and their leadership are so positive and caring. I only wish the school were better organized in the area of utilizing parents as classroom helpers to meet AYP for all kids and had more classroom or grade specific parent involvement/community building activities.

I have 2 children in Pine Bend. My youngest daughter has a speech delay and my oldest daughter has had some trouble in reading. Both of their teachers are great. I just want to thank them for everything they are doing and will do for my kids. The teachers at this school really do care about the students and I would highly recommend this school.
