I have three children who have attended Gaines Elementary. We love this school! Starting the minute you walk through the front door, the office staff are friendly and helpful and very on top of things. The teachers really look out for your children as well, above and beyond academically (although they're top-notch there, as well!). It seems like everyone knows my kids names, from the teachers, principal, playground aids, cafeteria, even the custodians. The PTO sponsors several activities and encourage all parents to be involved. It's a great place to learn and have fun at the same time. I look forward to sending my fourth child there next year as well. (and then we're done!) =)

I have a son and a daughter that attend Gaines Elementary School and we LOVE it! The principal, teachers and staff are very caring and involved with the children! We moved into the area specifically so our children could attend Swartz Creek Schools and we couldn't have picked a better Elementary School :)

I don't think there is a better ele school out there then Gaines. The principal is a wonderful roll model for all ages.he shows the kids not only strength and honorable charater traits but humor and understanding. They completely incourage parent involvement and every teacher seems to really care about your kids and enjoy thier jobs

I go in every Monday and help with the Kindergarten reading group or play word games. Then I eat lunch with my child. I also attend and bring things to all school parties. Since I volunteer only on Mondays I do not burn out. : )

Our school gives us mandatory hours (15) that we must give to the school in one way or the other. It is very easy if you don't mind stuffing envelopes or being a lunch mom. I think they even give working moms the opportunities to work on paperwork.... More »
