Totally disappointed with the principal's lack of appropriate leadership, lack of follow through and general lack of knowlwdge of how to deal with children overall! The teacher assigned to my childs class also lacks experience for that grade level and I would not recommend this school to anyone. My child will be moved from this horrible school as soon as possible. They operate on punative rather than uplifting and inspiring the children! I am appauled at the way this school is run!
My children have attended HVE for 4 year. With few exceptions, the teachers have been solid, superstars - really working within the limitations of NCLB to develop creative, interesting curriculum. From the beloved music instruction of Ms. Brown to the gentle SST coaching by Kirsten Watson to a strong parent volunteer corps, the school is a dynamic & rich place of learning. There is a wonderfully positive, hopeful atmosphere at the school thanks to the luminous & kind leadership of the new principal, Sandy Bruketta. She deserves huge credit for the enormous morale make-over of the staff, parents & the children after a somewhat discouraging few years of leadership. Finally, no review is complete without kudos to the front office staff - Lorie Robertson & Kathy Kearns - always there for our kids!
My son has a great 1st grade teacher McCoy!!!! In most cases the school seems to be ding well. My biggest concern is that they are not all that organized when it comes to functions and regisration....there is a way to make it much simpler then it was for me and my family. I have had some issues with a Kindergarten teacher and talked with the principal but nothing has been corrected about this issue. It would be nice to have more follow up when issues arise on the campus. The people are generally nice and the students seem to be great!!! I hope that things will turn around with the new principal, she could do a good job I believe. The campus is beautiful, always clean and friendly atmosphere as well....
