| None at this time. |
| pay closer attention
to kids on playground and at recess |
| larger class rooms |
| P T A what a bunch
of people who do not want out siders |
| n/a |
| less days off of
school |
| The cafeteria experience
is poor for my child. It needs to be quieter, more pleasant
eating environment. |
| Discretion between
legal guardians and parents when school papers and information
are given. |
| none |
| I would like more
updating about her progress than just a couple of parent/ teacher
conferences. Maybe monthly notes,ect... |
| More parent interaction
in the classrooms. |
| more availability
for before and after school day care |
| more outdoor equipment
for the children |
| More supervision
on playground |
| More suggestions
of what parents can do to help their children at home to improve
their learning capabilities. |
| Get a teacher that
can handle troubled students |
| I feel that there
are some things that the teacher's need the children to learn
is a little hard for a 2nd grader to learn. |
| To enable the teachers
more learning experience |
| I have no suggestions
at this time. |
| Introduce the students
to computers at an early stage. |
| none |
| A greater emphasis
on respecting others, being kind to other children. I am very
concerned about violence in schools, not Jefferson, but at the
higher levels. |
| more dispeslen |
| Better playground
supervision preferably by teachers instead of Aramark. |
| Just a little more
time when sending home information sheets regarding activities
at school. |
| Increase the frequency
of the newsletter and information that you supply to the parents.
Increase the notification of the developmental progress of the
students to the parents, not necessarily by grading, but by
meets expectations, exceeds expectations, below expectations
type of a scale. I would like to know if my child is in the
top reading group or if she is struggling. I really can not
tell that by the i can do it evaluations. I enjoy these evaluations
because the children have to take full responsibility for their
education and they know exactly where they are at with their
own education, but as far as a parent gaining full knowledge
of what my child is capable of, there could be some improvement.
|
| gifted or accelerated
programs at younger ages to challenge gifted students |
| I do not agree with
the joint grade classroom and it's purpose. I would like the
teacher to provide more information instead of trying to teach
responsibility to a six year old. More information on how to
assist child with needs due to special needs. Allowing it to
be the parents choice (which knows their child) to make decision
on joint grade classroom. |
| none at this time
|
| more fieldtrips that
are heathly for the childern |
| I have concerns regarding
the lunchroom and lunch recess. I do not feel like the supervision
is adequate for a primary school. Some of the workers are loud,
rude and not respectful to the students. Of the times I have
eaten lunch with my daughter - the kids were yelled at for talking,
for not eating their lunches in the time allowed. The time needs
to be increased. |
| None |
| Desks in classrooms
for 1st grade and up. Crossing guards remaining before and after
school an extra 10 minutes. Better lunchroom food. |
| A better explanation
of how the report cards or non report cards work. |
| better lunches |
| DEFINATELY need to
improve the number of playground personel, my child gets hurt
ALOT |
| I think they should
have parents volunteer on a scheduled basis to do lunch duties
and playground duties. |
| I don't think the
combined classes are a good idea. Children who are quiet and
less aggressive are left out. If this happens then the child
misses out on things for two years being in a combined class.
Each child should have an individual desk to set at and not
tables. |
| More personel on
the playgrounds to watch for recess |
| i have none. |
| More playground equipment
desperately needed. The playground needs swings and more slides,
more age appropiate equipment is needed. Especially since we've
spent 4 years selling fundraisers to put in one piece of equipment
that is geared towards older children only. We've spent the
last four years selling junk to raise the funds for this one
piece of equipment that my child will only get to use for one
year. Also better fundraisers are needed. The school needs to
sell things that are actually useable for the price they charge.
Also better lunch menu selection instead of the same stuff over
and over and over. |
| None |
| I believe that there
should be more curriculum activities scheduled for afterschool
hours, things that the children can do to broaden their learning. |
| I think that there
should be more opportunities for working parents to be involved
in thier childs school and to make access to the teachers easier
for them also. such as teacher e-mail or such. |
| I am really very
happy with my child's school. When we first started coming here
about 8 years ago, I had my doubts, but now I wouldn't want
my children anywhere else. |
| I think that the
kids should be watched a little better out on the playground. |
| wish that you would
hear about events in a more timely fashion, |
| Not a thing. |
| n/a |
| a lesser amount of
students per teacher |
| Seperate the grade
levels to their own class rooms. |
| no suggestions |
| More hands on exeperience
and more attention to each student, but that will always be
a difficult task for any educator |
| Don't have kids outside
in cold or slightly rainy conditions. |
| Leave the first graders
with the first graders and the second graders with the 2ndgraders
instead of together |
| nothing at this time
|
| none |
| Weekly reports or
a note weekly on improvements in each childs progress. It would
be nice to know ahead of time of any problems before it comes
time for parent teacher conferences |
| i would like to see
more staff outside during recess, my children have sometimes
complained about other kids picking on them. |
| I do not agree with
keeping the children on the playground until the temp falls
below 10 degrees. |
| none |
| none as of now |
| More time tests.
More reading for homework. |
| more information
coming home from the teacher. |
| not sure that i have
any!! :0) |
| none |
| make play grounds
safer, no needles or syringes, what happens next time if its
a gun? |
| The school could
help me with teaching techniques to help my child at home |
| I would like to see
grades on a report card. Also, I have called the school many
times and there is no answer during school hours. I realize
that the secretary is very busy, but it happens often. |
| none |
| I think there needs
to be more monitors on the playground and I feel the nurse's
assistant needs better training |
| I have an immediate
concern about the traffic situation in the mornings. The lack
of respect some parents have for the situation is posing a danger
to students who are often dumped from cars and cross the street
at areas other than the crosswalk. It alos hampers the movement
of traffic on Capitol St. The administration needs to become
aware of this problem and inform parents. I do feel reasonably
confident that my child is safe from people who might intrude
upon the school setting. I am much more impressed with teaching
staff here than with the administration. I often see teachers
who appear to be fatigued or sleepless. It makes me wonder if
they are carrying a greater work-load than is prudent? |
| None |
| I feel that the teachers
are really not equipted to handle any all types of children.
When they have difficulty with being in school or being with
others they are automatically thought to be difficult children
and that they need medication to make then handle it better.
They should learn how to handle those types of children and
not make them feel out of place. |
| more supervision
on the playground---this seems to be where alot confrontations
happen & there never seems to be an adult around |
| I think there needs
to be some advanced classes |
| better child to child
discipline. |
| none |
| additional
parking |
| Hold teachers accountable
as you would somebody in the private sector, i.e. don't let
the teachers unions run the school. |
| Longer school hours
to coinside with parents work schedules. More families have
both parents working now. |
| less students per
class room or more teachers |
| None |
| Volunteers for lunch
room monitoring. Introduction to letter grading system in 3rd
grade. Halloween parties should EXCLUDE scary, gory & spooky.
Maybe adapt a Harvest type theme or encourage them to dress
to a predetermined theme. |
| the school is fine
just as it is |
| Need more and better
playground equipment |
| I really can't think
of any, I have no complaints about this school at all. |
| Figure out why 50%
of the students are requiring resource learning |
| Find a better food
service. Teach a foreign language and American sign language
in grades K-12. Teach children to read music in grades 2-8 or
longer. |
| I would like to see
more of a gradual transition into grading and homework, which
they will be exposed to in 4th grade. |
| None. I'm very pleased
with Jefferson School and the education my son is receiving
here. (I am distressed, however, at remarks I've heard from
parents whose children attend other schools in this district.
They are glad their children don't attend Jefferson because
'all the poor kids go there.' Sounds like we need a 'We Love
Jefferson' campaign!) |
| My only 'complaint'
would be to change the Christmas Program to evening, rather
than daytime. It's very difficult for many working parents to
get the time off of work, yet we all want to support and encourage
our children by being here for that. It's an important time
and memory to miss. |
| None at this time. |
| None that I know
of off hand I feel they are doing an excellent job |
| There needs to be
more supervision when the kids are inside after lunch |
| my daughter feels
intimidated by some boys and pressured this is in 1st grade
how bad will it be by the time she is 2-3 years from now...
