My son is at the end of kindergarden 09 at Chandler. At the beginning of the school year my son had a hard time adjusting to kg. His teacher Ms. Grogg went out of her way to help my son going above and beyond expectations. The whole staff there are wonderful. Mrs. Lee the principal gives a lot of herself to help the students succeed and meet their goals.
