William H Owen Elementary School

My daughter is in the Spanish immersion program with Senorita Zabaleta this year. I have found that this program is the best thing at this school! I do not care for the school unless you are planning on enrolling your child in this program. Snta. Zabaleta is great with my daughter. She is speaking more and more in Spanish and actually reading more in Spanish than in English. I just love what she is doing with this program at this school. I really can not understand how parents can not be involved in their child's education. But this school is seriously lacking parent involvement! We just love Snta. Zabaleta though!!!!

I am a parent as well as a staff member a Owen Elementary. I have nothing but great things to say about the school and this fabulous Spanish Immersion program. My son has attended since Kindergarten and has been so successful. He can not only read in Spanish, but also in English using the phonetics learned for the Spanish language. Every school district should offer this wonderful program! Especially when we all know that business will soon be requiring it's employees to be bilingual in order to receive a much higher salary. Parents do not be afraid....your child will be successful throughout school and triumphant in the future.

We are very immpressed with the Spaniish immersion program offered to our daughter in her kindergarten year. Her teacher was Seniora Chacon. Everyday she would come home excited to teach us about all the nouns, proper nouns, & proper announcations. Her confidence level has risen. She even attended foriegn langage camp during this summer and loved it. We are looking forward to 1st grade Spanish immersion class. So in all retrospec I want to thank Ms Chacon & her lovely staff for being so caring, loving, kind, patient, stren, open to our daughter (all childern), thank you for 'teaching' & showing & proving that this is not just a job but a passion..Please we have to show more support to our Spanish immersion teachers...Thank you all

So far I love this school...My son is in the Spanish Immersion Program here in Kindergarten. His teacher Ms. Munoz has a personal relationship with all of her students and any parents that actually take time out to meet with her even occasionally. My son is really advancing in the Spanish language. The small size of the school means my child doesn't get lost in the crowd, even the cafeteria staff know him by name. My youngest son will start here in the fall in the Pre-K program.

I found the teachers to be very caring but the lack of parent involvement really impairs the quality of the school .They are also lacking extracurricular activities all together. My family moved based on the need for a school that offers more.
