I started my daughter in Preschool at Harper at 3.5. She had not been to school before, and I was…read moresuper nervous about this transition for her. She started with Ms Mamta, who was amazing with the transition. She was so patient and accommodating to all of her big feelings. She very quickly started loving school. She is currently in Ms Swarnali's class, and she has truly blossomed, she is truly exceptional! From the very beginning, Ms. Swarnali has created a warm, nurturing environment where she has felt safe, encouraged, and excited to learn. Ms. Swarnali consistently uses positive reinforcement to guide and motivate her students. Her approach has helped my daughter grow not only academically, but also emotionally. I've seen tremendous improvements in her confidence and the way she interacts with others -- changes that I credit directly to Ms. Swarnali's support and teaching style. It is clear that Ms. Swarnali is deeply committed to the well-being and development of her students. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had her as part of my daughters early learning journey.

Yes, they speed up to stop at the red light on El Cerro. Such blatant rudeness. Catholic hypocrisy to its fullest! We tap the horn and they either smugly smile or stare straight ahead and don't acknowledge at all. During their drop off and pickup times, look out as they clearly think their time is more important than anyone else's. Their kids play doorbell ditch throughout the neighborhood after school, disturbing residents. Are these the kind of people you want your kids going to school with?

Had a frustrating experience during after-school pickup. My husband and I were waiting in the…read moredrive-up lane to pick up our son from chess. I was in front of a crosswalk with multiple parked cars ahead of me, so there was nowhere to go. A lady pulls up behind me, upset, demanding I move so she can get her child from daycare. Even if I could move, where was she going with cars parked in front of me? Then the car behind her starts telling me to go park somewhere else, to leave and that I need to be nice? Then she runs to the office. What? Next thing I know, Lor (I believe) from the office comes out yelling at me instead of actually looking at the situation. I told her to ask the cars in front of me to scoot up, so then maybe I can move...moved maybe 20 feet if that hahaha, accomplishing nothing since those cars were still in front of me. Meanwhile, the lady who demanded I moved (and no one else to move) causing all this drama got her karma and ended up hitting the divider as she drove away. The whole situation was ridiculous. Instead of handling it fairly, Lor sided with entitled parents who think the rules don't apply to them. Also office stop asking if I have moved. If I did, I would have informed you.

It's been a long road to Danville but a well worn path by many other families in our situation…read more That road beginning in downtown San Francisco and that path refers to: 1. A couple dating 2. With no children 3. Who get married 4. Have kids 5. Send them to pre-school 6. and Now what? And also....some of those path items may not have happened in that exact order if you know what I'm saying......you know what I'm saying right? Oh wait - This is Danville. You really don't know what I'm saying because everything here is perfect and goes according to planned. Please know I'm not trying to be sarcastic - everything in Danville is in fact PERFECT. Case in point Greenbrook Elementary School. It's no secret that the Danville public school system is absolutely phenomenal when compared to almost the entire State of California. In addition the two high schools are ranked nationally by US News and World Report each year. Of course the price of admission to this educational wonderland is your left kidney, your child's first born, and a bottle filled with unicorn tears. But after the unicorn tears are handed over your child is ushered into an incredible learning experience. I distinctly remember my first report card from Kindergarten. I was sufficient in skills like cutting with scissors and not eating glue. This was the standard I was held to 38 some odd years ago. My son comes home with science experiments for kindergarten homework. He has to read a new book each week and then write his understanding of the material. I fear that next month I'm going to have to put him in time out for building a crystal meth lab in the play room rather than just forgetting to flush the toilet. Is it safe to give children this much knowledge so early? The folks at Greenbrook Elementary certainly think so, I just worry I won't be able to help out once he hits the third grade. I'll be looking at his advanced algebra textbook while I nervously lick a sticky substance off my fingers hoping nobody notices I'm on the paste again. Just to let my son know that his parents are still in charge of this house before he takes over the world my wife and I joined him at the Greenbrook PTA Bingo fund raiser night. We got there about 5 minutes before the Bingo was about to start and the place was packed, probably about 200 maybe 300 people there. We found a couple of seats still open near a garbage can and grabbed our bingo cards just in time for the first game. The game progressed slowly but quietly I was picking up steam until there it was .... N42. Almost involuntarily I shot up out of my seat holding my card and scream "BINGO!". The other parents looked at me with their jealous bingo eyes, my son started to cry because he does not like to lose at anything, and my wife was furious because she was only one square away from Bingo Glory. So when I responded to these hateful stares with...."And that's how you play BINGO people!" well....in that moment I realized Danville needs a guy from an under performing school district in New Jersey to talk a little trash from time to time. It would be almost statistically impossible for our family to win again on Bingo night given the amount of people in the room but guess what? Two games later my wife nails it, bursts out of her seat with a hearty cry of "Bingo Baby!" My son began to sob as he lost again and we are handed our second gift card of the night. I gave my wife a high five and started to imagine our free evening on the town that would include frozen yogurt and a movie. We leave the multi-purpose room triumphant in our victory because we know our son is going to retire to his room and begin working on an algorithm that unlocks the secrets of bingo forever. They may be 6 years old at Greenbrook Elementary but don't turn your backs on them for a second parents or you'll find yourself asking these munchkins to unlock your ipad so you can go on yelp before bedtime.

He does monthly coffees and parents are always welcome, our ideas and input are heard. Parents have plenty of opportunities to volunteer, something we never got a change with middle school. The school is on top of bulling and any issues that arise, i am sure there are drugs like any other High School, it depends on the parents being aware and involved with their children. The school wants students to succeed. During Covid the school and the school district have been on top of testing and safety protocols. Parents and students are involved and opinions matter.

Our kindergarten year was horrible with her in charge. My daughter is one of those rare children that didn't enjoy her first year of school. We discovered learning disabilities with our daughter soon after her nightmare year which has now been properly dealt with. Unfortunately we first had to endure a BULLY of a teacher that demonstrated no patience or care whatsoever. When confronted with concerns by us, she stormed out of the meeting in a temper tantrum fashion with no repercussion from the principal. Reports from her teacher's assistant made it clear she had real issues. We thank God that her next series of teachers have been great. Will never forget this unqualified, impatient, unprofessional bully. Sad to see tenure keeping this individual employed. If you get her, I can't urge you enough to request a change. You'll thank me later.
