And today was another fulfilling day for volunteers - Orchard giving back to the community for the annual Winter Food Drive! It was great to see former and current parents working together towards making a difference. It was also great to see former teachers of my son. I brought my son with me as I'd like him to experience how giving back to the community works. He was actually glad that he went as he was able to catch up with his former teachers. I've started participating for Orchard's giving back to the community outreach program back in August of this year, and I must say I have been looking forward to it every month. The program is headed by Ms. Meuy Saeteurn-Hansen, who is also a former teacher of my son. She runs this program so well that other volunteers from other distribution location have commented on how organized this program is! So, if you're a former or current parent or just anyone who is looking to have an incredibly fulfilling, joyful, and purposeful day, please join us!

She makes sure every child is doing well and feels comfortable and happy at school. We are very grateful to have Ms. Filiz as Kylan's Pre-K teacher. As parents, it means so much to be able to trust someone with our child every day, and she truly gives us that comfort and confidence. Kylan loves going to school, and we can see how much love and effort she puts into teaching and taking care of the children. Taking care of so many little kids is not easy at all, but Ms. Filiz does an amazing job every single day. We really appreciate all of her hard work, dedication, and kindness. Thank you sooooo much, Ms. Filiz! -- Nickie (Kylan's mom)

Spangler was also the person who helped bring modern sewers and clean water to Milpitas in the 1940s. Serving mainly the children in Starlite Manor and Milpitas Manor developments, it sits on a ten acre site near Starlite Park, the first neighborhood park in Milpitas. It is a K-6 school. All the kids in our family went here. Recently a lot has changed here with photo-voltaic panels over the parking area and lunch area. More portable classrooms are on the campus to house the over 600 students. The academic program is average for Milpitas. Their API scores are improving each year. Alas, there is little money to support music, drama, art, etc. This was the last of the district's elementary schools to approve wearing uniforms, so the nearby community probably has more independent thinkers than other schools may have. Spangler feeds to Thomas Russell Middle School.

We are new to Stratford this school year (transitioned from another competitive private school) and…read moreare extremely satisfied with the overall curriculum, staff, leadership team, and teachers. The decision to move both our kids (4th and 6th grade at SPM) to a new school was not easy. However, the entire staff here was so welcoming and made our kids feel very comfortable since day 1. Special shout out to our teacher Ms Valayil who goes above and beyond for her students and genuinely care about their academics and well being. Also, Ms Pacheco (Spanish teacher) and Ms Shohana (after school teacher) who are so supportive and caring - and entire front office/leadership team at this campus who exceeded our expectations. As we wrap up the school year this week, our family agreed that we made the right decision to be at Stratford and look forward to continuing our education here. We highly recommend this campus to all our friends and family.

Fantastic school. My daughter loves all her teachers and she gets a well rounded education…read more Unfortunately, as a public school, they still have to teach at a steady pace for all students which may be a little slower if your kid is a quicker on the uptake. We have to supplement her with additional home work at home. However, she's getting a quality education without us having to pay 10-20k for a private school. The most important thing is parent involvement. Money alone can't give your kid a quality education. This school has steadily gone up in ranks, and since the switch to Common Core testing instead of API, this is now a 10 ranked school. This just shows that the API can be gamed by rote memorization. As a parent, I had to relearn some of the concepts with Common Core, but it makes a lot of sense. I'm not sure why other parents hate it. The most important thing about Common Core is that there is not one way of getting the answers right. I teach my kids the curriculum method but I also teach them the old methods as well. Knowing more than one way to solve a problem and understanding *why* and *how* are the keystones of Common Core.
