Eureka School Board in Granite Bay decided not to end the mask mandates for our children yesterday…read more2/15/2022. They decided to wait for the state to lift it. My issue with this is that we have a Governor who implemented this mandate but chooses not to follow it when it comes to him and his colleagues; when they don't think we are watching. Not only that, We had a superbowl in Los Angeles and obviously there was no concerned about mask, most everyone showed their beautiful faces with excitement. Roseville, Rocklin school district decided to drop the mask mandates but not Eureka. What a shame this is because it seems it's about the money and not the children. I hope parents will encourage the mask mandates to be dropped so our children can enjoy the same excitement as our governor. Parents should call the Superintendent Tom Janis at 919-791-4939 and let him know that getting a fine for students without mask is worth it. If things continue maybe us parents could vote him out of his position along with the others who puts money before our children. Thank you Roseville, Rocklin for caring about our kids!!

I have mixed thoughts about John Adams. The primary side is quite different from the secondary…read more It's fantastic to have a school where the flag means something and our young children can learn to have a health and happy respect for it and their country. Flag salute should be mandatory through out our nation and at John Adams it is. Yes there are a few misguided "want to be" activists (over at secondary), who, in all honesty, should just let it go and move on to the regular public school of their choice. The teachers on the primary side are all just the best. Learning and living JAA's 10 core values everyday is one of the very most important things they do along side the "three R's". The best thing you could do is enroll your kids at JAA at the youngest age possible. It is much harder for a middle or high school child to come here and fit in, however, if they had come up through the primary program here first, then there is no culture shock when they move up to the secondary school. Servant leadership is a good philosophy to teach but it probably means something a little different to everyone. At secondary, there is a problem with admin/board leadership. It sometimes seems to be "do as I say and not as I do". They may have an "at will" employment contract with the teaching staff, but it should only be exercised after all other remedies are exhausted. This year has been very troubling because of abuse (in my opinion) of the "at will" employment contract by both teachers and admin. I believe stability is very important to the education process. My daughter was very destabilized when one of her favorite teachers, without warning, announced he was leaving. Then, another favorite teacher was suddenly removed from his job. She and her class mates have had to endure multiple changes to teaching staff this year making it near impossible for the students to get settled into their routine. Hopefully JAA admin and board will come to terms with this self created and self destructive problem and act to correct it in the coming years. There absolutely is something to be said about the Mormon influence on this campus. It does exist. Since most of the board is Mormon, this should come as little surprise. It's not that it's a bad thing as this school would not exist were in not for these very same folks. In fact most of what goes on at JAA is a good thing. However there have been some incidents where Mormon students caused disruption in class, then ganged up on teaching staff to get them fired, bragging about it later on. This is very troubling. And when this author posted a comment on the parents communication website about what happened, it was immediately removed. When I requested the reason why my post had been censored, I received no response. I asked for my post to be returned to me, I received no response or reply. I would escalate this issue but for concern of reprisal toward my daughter. The admin/board of JAA clearly does not like to be challenged in any way. And I find that very troubling. None of this is a deal breaker for me though. My daughter for the most part loves the atmosphere here. She loves her teachers and friends she's made here and she will finish high school here. My reason for shinning light on these things is not to discourage enrollment. I still believe this is a fine school and that most all schools should be patterned after this one. No my reason is simply truth. If people know about these things they might ask about them when checking out the school for their children, and if they ask, then the school might consider doing things a little better. Bottom line is, I would like to see the school "police" itself better and continually be looking for ways to improve and/or right any wrongs they are responsible for. All in all, JAA is a great school, especially if you are looking to get your young student off to a great start!

Subject: Urgent Traffic Safety Concern Regarding John Adams Academy Drop-Off/Pick-Up…read more To the City of Roseville and the appropriate traffic and public safety officials, I am writing to formally raise a serious and ongoing traffic safety concern regarding John Adams Academy in Roseville and the way its parent drop-off and pick-up traffic is being allowed to impact surrounding public roads. This is no longer simply an inconvenience. It has become a significant public safety hazard. I have personally been involved in collisions involving drivers associated with the John Adams Academy traffic, and I continue to encounter extremely dangerous conditions during school drop-off and pick-up. The current traffic situation is particularly dangerous around the entrance from Harding Boulevard into the Sierra Gate Plaza area. During peak school traffic, the line of vehicles backs up onto the public roadway and interferes with normal traffic flow. Drivers are blocking the far-right lane, making it extremely difficult for through traffic to safely pass. At the same time, vehicles attempting to enter the school line are backing up beyond the designated center/"suicide" turn lane, creating additional conflicts for drivers who are simply trying to travel straight through the intersection. This creates a situation where drivers have limited safe options: they cannot reasonably use the right lane to get around the congestion, they cannot safely proceed straight without navigating vehicles that are stopped or attempting to merge, and they are forced into unpredictable lane changes and interactions with vehicles entering and exiting the school line. What is especially frustrating is that this is not an unexpected or isolated problem. John Adams Academy has an established driveline system and staff assigned to manage arrival and dismissal traffic. The Academy's own safety documentation states that its staff and volunteers are responsible for managing the driveline and that its procedures are intended to keep scholars, staff, visitors, and surrounding traffic safe. (John Adams Academy) Yet the traffic continues to spill onto public streets and interfere with people who have absolutely nothing to do with the school. The City of Roseville has an obligation to consider the safety of all road users--not just the families attending John Adams Academy. Residents, commuters, emergency vehicles, pedestrians, and businesses should not have to navigate an unsafe traffic pattern every school day. I am asking the City to take immediate action, including: * Conducting an on-site traffic and safety assessment during actual morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up. * Enforcing existing traffic laws regarding blocking lanes and intersections. * Determining whether the current school entrance is appropriate for the volume of traffic it generates. * Requiring John Adams Academy to prevent its parent line from backing up onto public roadways. * Evaluating whether the Harding Boulevard entrance needs to be restricted, redesigned, or closed for school drop-off/pick-up purposes if the traffic cannot be contained safely on school property. * Reviewing the history of collisions and near-misses associated with this traffic pattern. * Developing a traffic-control solution that allows ordinary through traffic to continue safely without being forced into dangerous lane changes. At this point, I believe the City needs to stop treating this as a normal school traffic inconvenience and start treating it as the public safety issue that it is. A school should not be permitted to create a recurring traffic condition where drivers cannot safely use a public roadway simply because the school's drop-off and pick-up operation cannot contain its own traffic. I strongly urge the City of Roseville to investigate this situation before someone is seriously injured or killed. This entrance needs to be reevaluated, and if a safe solution cannot be implemented, the City should seriously consider shutting down or restricting this entrance for school drop-off and pick-up traffic. I would appreciate a written response explaining what the City intends to do to address this ongoing safety hazard. Sincerely, A concerned Roseville resident and driver

Ok, I have to try and do this review from a adult standpoint and what they should experience if…read moretheir child goes to this school. I attended this school 7-9 years ago. They were just starting on the renovation and rebuilding the library as I was leaving. This school has pretty good school spirit. The locker rooms and gym were clean. They have a pool that they use for PE for some grade levels. They have great art classes and a wood shop. Some math and science teachers are rude and won't work with the kids. Other math and English teachers are well mannered and nice. I'm glad that they remodeled because sections of the school needed some revamping. Somehow I wish they kept the viking in the quad because it had been there since the 60's. The remodeling has helped in the seating for graduations (which can be large and crowded). It has also prevented students from escaping off campus during lunch time (a popular thing to do). Parking was tough when I went to Oakmont. The parking lot was easily full. Which makes me wonder how everyone finds a spot now that that they have put portables in sections of the parking lot. I'm sure there are drugs in lockers on campus (they need more drug sniffing dogs to come on random days to sniff them out). They always threatened it when I went, but would never check and students knew it. Then again, I'm sure that there are drugs on any high school campus you go too. They have also remodeled the field- no more dirt on the track and there is AstroTurf- a great idea because before the field would puddle in areas when there was too much rain.

If I could give this 0 stars, I absolutely would. This school is atrocious. I did sixth, seventh,…read moreand eighth grade here. All years were pretty bad. Especially seventh and eighth, when the school truly began going downhill. Starting off with the 8th grade trip--Terri Daniels is honestly one of the worst principals I've had. Not sure how she got that Principal Of The Year state award smh. The 8th graders were supposed to go on the Great America trip -- but Daniels messed up the buses (the buses thought they were going to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, not Great America) and once they were already about 20 minutes into the trip, they turned the buses around and went BACK to the school. Once they got back to the school, Daniels began yelling at the kids, saying that they did not deserve to graduate and that they were extremely disrespectful and rude, when SHE was the one who messed up the communication with the buses. Like, WTH???! What kind of principal messes up a graduating class's final middle school trip and then yells at THEM saying that they don't deserve to graduate??? Seriously???!! However on a more personal note, all-in-all, a friend of mine was basically mistreated in a disgusting way in the school, and she was too scared to report it. When she did (only TWO DAYS later mind you), one of the principals (cant remember which one) said that she should have reported it the day it happened, and that they can't do anything about it now. The person that did it to her got absolutely no punishment!!!! like WHAT is going on at this school??? And to name the absolute worst teachers: Dr Daniels - reasons mentioned above Ms Walters - did NOT teach the class at all and instead sat at her desk all day Ms Agles - just retired this year i believe, but is extremely rude and always picking and yelling at kids in front of the whole class Ms Passovoy - not the worst but still bad, she is constantly judging student's choice of clothing and rude in general, although she is a good TEACHER Ms Campos - absolutely one of the worst teachers I've recieved, she is terrible at teaching, extremely, EXTREMELY disorganized, once I did an extra credit assignment in class and I had to ask her EVERY DAY for around three whole weeks to add it into the grade book. She initally said it was worth 2 extra credit points but only but in 0.2 points, and at that point i was just done. I'm probably missing some but I can't quite remember... The best teachers, on a more positive note: Ms Flowers Mr Von Mr Olsen All in all, i do not recommend!
