Parents appreciate the highly active Parent Advisory Council (PAC) that frequently organizes fundraising and volunteer events. The school's early learning programs, such as 'Just B4' and 'StrongStart', are highly praised by parents for easing the transition into Kindergarten, though spots can be competitive. The on-site 'Hand in Hand' before and after-school care is a major plus for working parents.
