I would check in frequently with his teachers and staff so that we could all work together to make the transition and daily learning successful. Mrs. Adorante (recently retired principal) was wonderful and very welcoming. While traffic may have been rough- a little preparation and routine always made it go smoothly.

In 3rd grade i had basically no friends in the school but the just the next year in fourth grade i had a ton of friends. Every teacher here treats you like their own kids and cares for you. They want to see you succeed in what you want to do. i wasn't here for 1st grade but i got to read to the first graders and the first grade teachers seem amazing. They are so patient and good with kids. And all the first grade students seem amazing to, they try their absolute hardest with trying to spell word and to read. And the special area teachers are amazing to, if you need help with something like in art or music they will help you with it. And the janitors are so amazing, they have to clean up our messes in lunch and they don't even complain. overall 10/10 school, literally the goat - Jakoby...
