Van Gorder Elementary School

My son loves this school and his kindergarten teacher Mrs. Kattelman. She is so enthusiastic and makes learning so much fun. All the kids (past and present) love her so much. I volunteer every other week and the school is in tip top shape. The office staff are always so friendly, and helpful.

My boys love this school, my husband and I will do our utmost to keep them here all of their elementary years. My oldest is in 3rd and my youngest in 1st. The principal: you can totally tell that he loves the children and it seems like he makes a point to know each and every one to the best of his ability on a personal level. All Staff: they every one are super friendly, especially Donna in the office. They are all always there to help and friendly as they can be. The Teachers: We have had Mrs. Lee, Mrs Day, Mrs Martinkus and Mrs. Steinmetz. They are all Superb teachers. Overall I say this school goes above and beyond to educate my children. They take education seriously and do their best to encourage each child to step out and experience learning and they make it fun.

Our daughter started kindergarten here and unfortunately because we're moving, she won't be attending the rest of school career here. It's an excellent school! Her teacher is Mrs. Lee and she is the best. She is so enthusiastic about teaching and it's shown through my daughter's learning. We're going to miss this school.

Our girls began attending Van Gorder in July (2006). The school is excellent and has one of the most dedicated staff! The Principal and the Assistant Principal are great leaders and as a result you can feel that everyone really wants to and enjoys being there teaching. We feel so lucky that are girls are attending such a wonderful school!
