What school district is Bentwood Elementary School part of?
Preschool classrooms are too big. There are too many boys in class that outnumber the girls. Communication issues between parents and teachers. I would rather speak to a teacher then use email or phone apps. I don't get daily reports or notes in bookbags, And I don't appreciate my child telling meshes being hit by other students in her class and I am not notified.
