Parent #1
The year I started, I was a bit confused, but since then we have been better about matching parents up so that they feel more comfortable joining the school.
Parent #2
Strenghts of this school are parents involvement and community, teachers we have are great, we now have an excellent parent ed teacher, my child has made great friends there. Weaknesses are that because parent run, it can create challenges when evaluating teachers or parent ed instructors that haven't worked-people try to be too nice in their assessments but complain about what isn't working
Parent #3
The community developed is the biggest reason for enjoyment of the school. I have an incredible network of support from other families. It requires a lot of time and committment which if you work full time is too challenging. We are required to fundraise, participate in the classroom, work duties and cleaning obligations, as well as have a job in the class group.
Parent #4
Community aspect is priority.
