[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent of a kindergarten student and we are very happy. Our child is thriving and loves school. We like the teachers and think they are doing a great job. I find these complaints about the home room teachers a little odd though. The kids spend as much or more time with their Specials teachers than their home room teachers. They have a math specialist, reading specialist, phonovisual teacher, STEM teacher, art teacher, music teacher, PE teacher, Spanish teacher, French teacher, and Chinese teacher. These teachers teach all grades. We have had no issues with any of them. People should visit the school before believing the stuff that people allege on this board without supporting facts. [/quote]

This is only partially true.  The kids do spend time
with specialists, but the homeroom is the core of their community.  The math specialist only works with 1/2 of the class at a time and rotates this throughout the yesr, so the homeroom teachers will instruct for math, reading workshop and other subjects.[/quote]

+1 and current parent here. The kids do spend a lot of time with the specialists; however, a lot of the instruction and social-emotional learning is from the homeroom teachers, which we have been very happy with. Most are kind and nurturing. [/quote]
