This school has immeasurable parent involvement. The school has many open face building which raises concern of safety. It does have music and art. Students (in Kindergarten) can learn more if the parties taken in class + the school were less often. Lots of parties is not my cup of tea. Didn't have a joyable experience with the teacher or principal. Their attitudes were highly unprofessional, plus disrespectful when it came to parent's wishes of being notified of what food will be given + no toys coming to the house every Friday of every week.
