Vincent Acierto: When my job allows, I volunteer every week. Mrs. Machado my son's kindergarten teacher and Mr. Council the principle as well as Julie Smit in administration are very good at what they do. They keep me in touch with everything that is going on. Personally and also online. They have recently started an Online Math Learning Tool that my son and I work on daily as well as his homework that is sent home each week. I know that many schools are overwhelmed with too many students per teachers in the classroom. However the lessons gone over are very clear and up to date. Good job Ripona Elementary. ;0)
