Monte Verde Elementary School

Posted May 27, 2009

I have one child at Monte Verde and have been very pleased with the education and experiences she has received so far. The teachers are receptive, encouraging and enthusiastic about what they do. Hats off to Principal Debbie Mirt for her dedication and commitment to Monte Verde - she is supportive, open and seems to know almost every child's name in the school! The surrounding community is great and parent involvement is to be commended. I agree that there are the same parents that seem to be the core group for planning and executing events - as a working parent, I'm glad they're there to provide students with different programs and events. It seems to me that with the earlier comment posted about needing new fundraising ideas and programs w/in the PTA could best be addressed by saying: then get involved with the PTA - actions speak louder than words!

I've been a parent at Monte Verde for several years. I feel my children are receiving an excellent education. The teachers, staff, Principal, and parents all work together to create a nurturing and challenging academic environment for our kids. The PTA members work hard to provide extra funds for the school as well as support for the teachers. Over the years I've seen them provide all playground equipment in the 'big' yard, curtains for the stage, the signboard, audio and visual equipment, a contribution every year towards field trips, P.E. equipment, and digital cameras for each grade. New parents and new ideas are always welcome so please come to a PTA meeting to share your vision with us!

Monte Verde is one of the best schools in the SSFUSD. I believe they have great teachers and a good principal. The only area that needs improvement is the PTA which lacks organization and direction. There is a small group of parents who seem to always do the majority of the event fundraising and coordinating which ends up being the same each year. We need 'fresh' ideas and old/new parents to become involved. Hey, other schools have mandatory parent participation, so why can't parents receiving a free education for their children make an effort to participate in your child's education? I can't seem to understand why you wouldn't want o.
