The staff at Averill Elementary work with some difficult children, who are facing tough battles in their young lives. They respond with love, patience, and structure. I can't say enough about the wonderful education that I received learning how to be a teacher with the staff at Averill Elementary. My deepest gratitude.
We have a daughter in Ms. Miller's kindergarten class. She is a great teacher and person (even for a Spartan fan). Not only has she done a wonderful job teaching our daughter, she genuinely cares and loves the kids. It's been a joy watching and helping our daughter learn as well as getting to know Ms. Miller. I' give Ms. Miller 5 stars (Thanks Teach)and the school as a whole 3 stars as it does lack encouragement for more parent involvement, at least for the kindergarten level.
I am a parent of a Kindergarden student in Ms. Miller's class. I couldn't ask for a better teacher for my child. My son thrives in Ms. Miller's classroom. He has been through so much change in the last year and had some behavioral problems that have been pretty much taken care of. I believe that if my son had gotten any other teacher he would not be thriving the way that he is. I am kind of irate about the Administrator in the school. The Administrator is not supportive of the teachers there at all. Our voices are not being heard on the end of the Administrator. We understand that not all of our concerns are going to be changed, but they do need to be addressed. At this point we are only being brought in to voice our opinions after a decision has already been made. WRONG!
Parent involvement is not encouraged, especially if identified with special needs. Some of the tenured staff is not willing to try different teaching styles that would encourage mainstreaming. Resource room is more like a separate/independent study instead of being supplemental to general education curriculum. Quality of academic programs would improve with more parent involvement.
