What school district is Discovery Elementary School part of?
My kids have gone to this school for 5 years. The teachers are very hands-off. That doesn''t mean they're bad, it just means I don''t know because they never actually communicate how your student is doing. I brought up concerns to the administration and was told to follow them on Twitter. That doesn''t tell me if my child is at grade level for math skills! Communication must start at the top and I expect their principal to do more to foster a teamwork approach between parent and students.
