This school is close to my work and it's very important to me to be able to get to my child quickly in the event of an emergency. I have two children at this school and like the small community that it is. I have been able to communicate and keep abreast of my children's progress. It's been easy for me to keep in touch with the teacher to see if they need anything for the classroom and if its in my budget - I try to get what they need be it extra boxes of kleenex, a box of snack, or art supply. In this city, it is difficult to get into the top rated schools - but seeing my children growing and learning in this environment has me pleased.
