This is an amazing school that is filled with teachers that genuinely care about the students. The parental involvement is great here with plenty of ways to volunteer time and resources. Our son loves being a Blue Jay and looks forward to going to school each day. He's a kindergartener now and his classroom is filled with things that make us feel like one big family.
