What people say

"It has been a pleasure having Ms. James as my son's kindergarten teacher. Her dedication to my son’s education has made him read books and write full paragraphs at five years old. His favorite lessons are the word songs she teaches him, which he sings daily. I appreciate how much Ms. James communicates with me on the ClassDojo App. Specifically when he hurt himself and had an issue with a classmate. She will also share weekly photos, and updates which puts me at ease while I am at work."
