My child was going to go to Midland but at last minute Lit. they said they were full and I need to enroll her with Jennings. When we arrived 5-10 minutes later we were instantly greeted, met the teachers for her grade(K), shown the class rooms, and was shown were her class will be for her first day next week. The teachers were really nice. The one that my daughter grew found of from the start is her teacher for the school year. She was very open, and helpfull. The information that I was given in a packet answered all questioned that I had. So far this is a great school.
