[quote=Anonymous]Innovation:
1) Ms. Peters (principal) is a great communicator.  She knows my kids names without any effort on our part.  my kids like her.  She seems very well-respected by staff.  She seems to jump in and help wherever she is needed.
2) We love our kids teachers.  There are a number of staff who made the transition from ASFS to Innovation.  Also, some great staff came from elsewhere.
3) My kids are getting pull outs for more advanced material.  Teachers at ASFS mentioned the kids would get some more advanced material, but its more apparent to my older child this year than ever before.  Gifted teacher seems very well respected.
4) The school made an effort in the winter with after-school tutoring to help some kids who were behind to catch up.
5) School is diverse like ASFS was which makes sense given its kids who moved from ASFS.
6) Everyone loves the librarian.
7) School is undersubscribed which seems great for play space and other opportunities.

Also, the little things:
1) PTA and school are working to make a robotics program at school.  My kids enjoy the programming / robotics experience.
2) We can walk to school.
3) After-school enrichment activities seem more interesting than they were at ASFS.  This may just be a function of the space available for those activities in the building, what the PTA chooses, or Barody just providing more options this year.

I think when you love your kids' teachers and they're happy and learning, it's hard to complain.[/quote]
