Bird Elementary School
My son has attended this elementary school for two years now and I have enjoyed all the interactions with his teachers and other staff. Every teacher has been professional, helpful, and insightful. The parent teacher group, while small, is involved in the school at many levels. I feel his teachers have gone out of their way to talk with me if I had a question or concern. Parent volunteers are always welcome in the classroom and in other areas of the school. This school also participates in a program that allows them to keep the class size for K-3rd to 18 or less, which I feel really helps the classroom atmosphere. The principal is wonderful and very involved with the school and the students.
