We are starting our 14th year at Holy Rosary and could not be happier!! The community at Holy…read moreRosary is so wonderful. Our school is faith filled and boasts wonderful teachers and staff who are truly here for the children. My oldest child is now heading off to UC Davis and my youngest has just a couple of years left at Holy Rosary before starting high school. I believe Holy Rosary provides a strong foundation for high school and beyond. The environment at Holy Rosary is one of mutual respect and consideration. The children realize that they are held to a high standard of respect for one another and are asked to treat each other with kindness which is a wonderful thing to see in action!! In a world that seems to lack responsiblity, respect and strong character, Holy Rosary is a breath of fresh air and I would not have my children anywhere else. In addition to providing a true learning environment, the staff and faculty keep the curriculum fresh and are always looking at new ideas and ways to make things even better. Such dedication is a hard thing to come by. My children have been enveloped in academics, spirtuality and compassion at Holy Rosary and all while learning the great value of leadership and volunteerism. Thank you to all of the staff and faculty for your spirit, love and unwavering dedication to our children!!

His friends who attend other schools are getting C's and saying the work is too hard to get an A. My son was taught the fundamentals that started with John Muir. My daughter is a 4.0 student. She reads 1 hour per day, every day. She also plays the piano for 50 minutes every day. My wife at times will help with the class. I find teachers want to come to teach at John Muir leaving their teaching jobs from such areas as Concord and Danville. This says a lot in my book. Most of the teachers do not put up with disturbance from the child. Some parents do not like this because they want babysitters, not teachers. I see some parents going through the motions like they are involved, but they are more involved with Facebook and talking gossip. I must admit, I too sometime get drawn in, but I stop it when my children are invovled. John Muir and the staff are among the best you will ever find. If you want them to challenge your child so that he may be ready for college, they will. If you want them to babysit, well, maybe this school is not for you.

I definitely feel defeated and restricted at this point as to where I can go or who will accept my child. We were rejected by the very people I thought could help us.

A lack of homework, consistent education, report card or progress reports. My child also lost his music teacher in fall with no replacements and just lost hope. Nobody took over. I messages the principal and was met with excused and lack of response. When I raised concern for lack of proper education and who would fill the gap the principal didn't even respond. My child was disappointed with the lack of education, support. And an ability for a sub to provide structure. My child is excited to leave this school and get proper education elsewhere. It's no surprise we got a letter principal is leaving too.

My two grandsons go there and just loved their kindergarten teacher Ms Lingenfelter and now the oldest is in first grade is impressed with his first grade teacher Ms. Smith they are wonderful ladies. What we can't get is that nowadays quite a few grandparents are raising their grand kids due to the parents of the lovely children. Some of us grandparents have their grandchildren due to the miss conduct of their parents, ie, drug, guns, etc., and are afraid that at any given time someone has threatened them and their children. As the guardians of these little guys we keep them safe from strangers and harm when they are with us but when we let them go to school we want to be safe that the gates are locked and when the EXIT is on a gate that means EXIT only, no entrance of anyone at any time. My youngest son was allowed to enter into the kindergarten play yard and he has no children in that school and has not been on the school grounds this year for the new parents or some of the old ones to see this year but yet someone leaving held the gate open for him since he was running in that direction. This was an issue last year when a child was pleaded to open the gate and a non parent was on the school ground and roaming around before he was approached by office personnel and escorted off the premises before something regretful happened, so please when i make a remark to you about this gate being exit only, heed my concern for the safety of my grandsons and your children.
