Awesome Kindergarten experience | Great school…read more The start of this past school year was disorganized and left us feeling skeptical and worried about how our daughter would experience her first academic year here. We met the old principal during open house to find out he was moving overseas before the start of school and we didn't have a kindergarten teacher assigned until the day before school started. Despite the rough start for parents and staff navigating together the new changes, our daughter absolutely loved her teacher, Mrs Parry, and her first year at this school. We couldn't have asked for a better kindergarten teacher. Every day our kid came home with work they've learned and created in class. I'm not just talking about coloring and learning ABCs, like I did growing up. -She learned life cycles of butterflies, ducks, chicks, frogs... -Counting up to 100 and by the end of the year multiplying by 2's -Basic reading and reading comprehension -Basic Spanish Mrs Parry was an extremely hard working and dedicated kindergarten teacher who knew how to teach every kid in her class at various levels with patience and kindness. She was always organized, communicated well, and produced lots of helpful materials tailored to each kids skill level. They did a lot of art, hands on activities like growing things in the school garden, and also used a math app on the computer for kids to learn at their own skill level and pace. At this grade, they did math and English assessments twice in the year! My kid made so much progress since the beginning of the year all thanks to Mrs Parry. My kid came into kindergarten already knowing how to read at about a 1st grade level, but by the end of the school year, she is into 2nd grade level comics and easy chapter books. I volunteered a few times throughout the year for field trips and attended school events towards the end of the year. I enjoyed the activities planned for the kids and became acquainted with the structure and routine of the class. My daughter loved recess, taking books home weekly from the school library, music class, and PE. The school facility is pretty nice considering it's a fairly new/young construction. The one thing that hyped up my kid going into her first year here is the large slide in their library! I grew up learning in those basic portable classrooms that could easily be taken down. So boring and unimaginative! The school communicates through 2 different apps, one for the entire school district and one for the school and your teacher. With so many updates/posts/announcements, it is hard to keep up and feels unorganized to me and other parents. One app would work for us. Another thing to note that is also new to me is their term 'blended classes'. They have classes like kindergarten, kindergarten and first grade blend, first grade..etc. In my honest opinion, I'm not a fan of this because I think it is a way for the school to deal with budget cuts. My kid's class size wasn't too large, but I'm curious what the future holds since each year seems to attract more enrollment. With more homes being built, I'm thankful another school is being built in the town. Overall, I'm happy if my kid is happy with her teacher and school. I see her progress and like the school's facilities and fun events. I'm not a fan of their app system and budget cuts. We will greatly miss Mrs Parry due to the budget cuts, but we look forward to what this next school year holds for our kid.

Talese takes tons of pictures and sends them to the parents, along with regular updates of what the kids are up to. I love the art projects sent home too. They have a parade with musical instruments first thing in the morning to get the wiggles out! The backyard is also fantastic for playing, with lots of toys and equipment, as well as a covered area with a sandbox and water table. They are also working on toilet training the youngest, and are willing to deal with diapers too. I couldn't ask for a better environment for my son.

They also help hundreds of families throughout Oregon with their fundraising and food programs. If I can, I try to help them out each year.

Because of the small size of the school teachers can be more interactive and hands on with their students! Parents are extremely involved in supporting their kids education! Students learn from real life situations rather than just out of a text book and are truly proud of the school they attend! All of this creates a community that seems more like a family! It is truly an amazing community to be a part of and I am so grateful for all the time I have been able to be apart of this family!! If you ever get the chance to join this family you will only be blessed by the experience! What an awesome school! Also the preschool program if phenomenal!

You will love it!

Every year the Principal takes AWAY from these kids. There used to be amazing things done for the…read morekids but now she shuts down so many ideas because she doesn't want to stay at the school later than 3:30 or 4pm. Well dude it's kind of YOUR job. Events are all run by PTO and volunteers except for choir concerts, science fair, art fair etc. and they do a decent job. I want to volunteer IN my kids class. But there aren't many opportunities for that as they reach higher grades. The principal is aloof and doesn't have a level of investment at the school. The staff (aside from her,) are wonderful. So caring and so supportive. She lacks follow up, initiative and just general CARE. She can't even pronounce the names of long term teachers. What garbage. That staff cares SO much for the students. And the Vice Principal SHOULD be running the show. She is everything a leader should be. I cannot even grasp how the Principal makes the salary she does with the true lack of care and investment in the school. My son has a year left and then we are moving on. Aside from her it's been wonderful but she has truly made the school LESS in every way.
