Stuart Place Elementary School

I asked Principle Brauer if I could sit in on my son's class to monitor his behavior. She replied, "no". She referred to FERPA; which she said interferes with privacy issues. She also stated it would be at the discretion of the Principle. I looked up FERPA and she is wrong FERPA clearly states, "does not specifically prohibit a parent or professional working with the parent from observing the parent's child in the classroom." This alarmed me. What does the principle have to hide. I am not there to monitor her teachers but more my son. It is a public school and I have never heard that. Principles are always so welcoming.

My child has attended this school for a year and the school is wonderful. My concern with this school is that there safety priorities for the children are clouded. I repeatedly was allowed to pick up my child without showing an i.d, without signing him out and i had 2 other adults (who weren't on the list) allowed as well to pick up my child. I did it purposely to prove my point. i was not phoned, i was not informed by notice anything that my child had left. Nor where those adults id or signed in either. never given vistor passes anything. This is why i have frowned upon this school. I rather be given a hassle to pick up my own child then find them missing one day due to the schools negligence

This is a truly great school. Vivian Bauer is the principal and truly takes every opportunity to work with faculty, parents and students to provide an excellent environment for children to learn. I have seen both of my children, (year after year), enjoy their teachers, enjoy going to school, and truly learning to their full potential. Mrs. Bauer also does a terrific job of recognizing our local veterans on Veteran's Day; as well volunteer time with the local Cub Scout Pack. Sincerely, A Thankful Parent

This is a school that really cares about it's students! My kids have attended this school from the get go. My wife attended this same school as well. I used to teach in the schools as a police officer and even we would fight to get a chance to teach there. The staff is just wonderful!

The administration and teachers are very committed to ensure the success of each and every student. I was so disappointed when we had to move because my child would have to leave such a wonderful and caring enviroment. It was truly an outstanding group of educators focused on the important aspect of teaching...the child.
