My child started in TK with the wonderful Ms Avina. We are excited to start Kindergarten next year as the Dual Language program is a big selling point as to why we chose the school. Also looking forward to the extra curricular activities like gardening, music class, art class, etc. The school seems to really care about the students and their growth and development. New principal Ms Salcedo is an enthusiastic and kind leader for the school.

Both of my daughters are on a permit coming to this school because they schools around my area do not have a good dual language program. They have a good after school staffs that are always on top of students safety. The teachers are the best in this school and go above and beyond for the students.
