I am a parent of a pupil in kindergarten at Mount Vernon in Newark, NJ. When I first enroll my child in that school, I have to say that there was anxiety on my part... I love my daughter's teacher, she is very involve and care about the academic progress of my child; she would tell me about her misbehavior and her progress regularly. However, sometimes I can see a lack of organization on the part of the administration staff. For instance they canceled the photo day at the beginning of the year and waited about the day before to let us know about the new date for the next photo shoot!!!! My daughter had a trip, in New York and they waited the day before to let the parents know about it (they had to dress nice with dressy clothing).

This school is not active enough with their students teachers or staff...one day of observation made me realise that my child would be leaving
mt vernon school is a great school. i love the teachers. the administrators office is alot to be desired, the front office does not make you feel welcome at all. be ready to stand in the office before someone acknowledges you and ask if they can help you. the school prinicipal ms dyer is not the friendliest person but she does i have to admit has control of the school. i want to personnal thank the teachers at mt vernon you deserve high honors, you do show you care about the children. thank you
