I have my daugther in Sandy Grove and she has been with Mr. Ter Vree. All I can said is that he is a very professional teacher who goes above and beyond the call of duty with his students. He is commited to the complete success of his students and his dedication to teach made a huge difference in my daugthers overall performance not only at school but also at home, he keept us motivated to get involved at school and I know that he is a great asset to Sandy Grove. Thanks Mr.T for your hard work and for making a huge difference in our Kids education. Mr .Rolando Delvalle

I have two boys in Sandy Grove and they both have been in Mr. Ter Vree @nd grade class. He is THE BEST teacher out of that school. My husband has been deplyed for 1 year of the two we have been in Mr T's class and he has been wonderful, helpful and very incouraging. My two boys have really grown from Mr T's help.

Our son is in his second year at Sandy Grove. He had a wonderful kindergarten teacher last year and first grade teacher this year. He is doing great in school. I feel the school should require every adult to get a pass to walk the halls. I don't want some weirdo walking around with the kids. It does not bother me to take a few extra minutes to sign in the office. I have not heard any yelling in the school. Overall we like Sandy Grove.

I worked as the Media Center TA for 9 months and couldn't believe what I saw. The media center was the worst, expecting kindergarteners to sit still and quiet for 30 minutes while listening to a boring story from a monotone teacher! Unreal! As a staff member, I was embarrassed to say that I worked there. The leadership at this school is lousy. This school is a joke. No wonder NC is ranks so low.

I am so glad that my children are not returning to Sandy Grove! My oldest was in the self-contained special needs classroom with Mrs. Oxendine and it was the worst experience I have ever had! The principal raved about how he set up the classroom (as well as the classroom at his previous school, yet refused to accept critizism about this class. Overall, greatly disappointed.

My children have been at Sandy Grove Elementary school for almost a whole year now and I have to say that I really love it. I am at the school 4 days out of the week (I volunteer in both of my children s classrooms) and I for one don't hear any yelling in the halls as another parent has stated! And the reason for the visitors pass is to promote safety so they know who is walking through the halls.

This website and our school tour with Mrs. Daniels played a major role in why we chose Sandy Grove for our child so I feel obligated to let those who are searching know about our experience. I was very disappointed with his Kindergarten teacher who sent items home last year that weren't even spelled correctly, and was never able to tell me why my child was hurt at the end of the school day. I hear yelling constantly within the school which is one of the reasons I walk my child to class each day, so as to keep my child from being subjected to this treatment for as long as possible. There is a new rule in Sandy Grove that does not let you escort your child to class in the morning. You are physically stopped at the front doors of the school and made to get a visitors pass.

My child has been at Sandy Grove since it first opened. It has always been a good school and under Mr. Marston's care it excelled! He was always caring, but strict. He never discriminated in any way. I for one was sad to see him go. The school is not the same without him. These other parents can praise this school if they want to, but there are some teachers of lower quality. Without Mr. Marston there they will receive no support from the administration.
