We observed in these years that respect is a very important value at Tate's and, being an expat, multicultural family, is a key aspect that we hold in high esteem. We wholeheartedly recommend Tate's School, for those searching for a serious, competent educational center where children and families grow strong networks.

I am pleased to add this school to Yelp. JVE is a Title I school, which means that it receives…read moregrants in order to provide a great education for kids from all walks of life so that they meet "challenging state academic standards"*. Which means that when my daughter, Ronni, was struggling with reading, she got the extra help, and she is now reading above her expected reading level. Plus, in 2013, JVE received the honor of being named a "National Title I Distinguished School". Which means that they did what they set out to do- got kids the education that they needed. Which means that they were one of the schools in the top one percent- yes, one percent- in the nation to do so. JVE teachers do not mess around. So, education is great in general at this school. The Pre-K is super. Those rugrats can get bussed if you ask, and they get dismissed at three p.m. Ronni loved it. Ditto for Kindergarten and on up. Kids are challenged and become math freaks and history buffs. Ronni gives me daily math quizzes. She has been doing small science experiments that create huge messes. Yep, she's trucking! This school has free breakfast, and a reduced or free lunch if you qualify. They have services for "Exceptional Children" (autism, visual and hearing problems, emotional or intellectual disabilities, speech problems, and traumatic brain injuries). They got ELL ("English Language Learners"), which is big in my book. (My dad came to the United States speaking not one word of English. He does now, and became an electrical engineer along the way.) AIG ("Academically or Intellectually Gifted) is offered, too. And after-school care and summer camp to boot. They do come attached with a reasonable price tag, but, as a parent, you can work harder or play harder when your kids are still at school. Sometimes special math, science, and reading nights are held in the evenings. Musicals every year. Ronni has stopped lip syncing and has graduated to almost-fainting at the musicals. In third grade, the kids start playing recorders. Art, and I am proud to say that Ronni's art has been shown in the county art show for the past several years. P.E. is much loved, errant basketballs and all. Guidance classes take place, as well as book swaps. And don't forget library! I always catch Ronni reading her library books. There is an on-site therapist, which is excellent, and a school psychologist. Every year, the fifth graders go to Washington D.C. They come back more mature and exuberant for even more learning. JVE's principal is simply amazing. Our kids's education is her passion, and she does a fine job with our future. Most of the teachers are terrific. You can reach out to them, and they help. When I thought that Ronni had a learning disability, they got right on the investigation. When Ronni had an illness that resulted in a lot of missed school days, they understood, and made sure that she reached milestones at a crucial time in her schooling. Reported bullying is dealt with swiftly and justly. I have to hold back sadness and anger when I think about what some kids- what my kids- have to go through and went through. It is reality, but one that I will always try to effect with wisdom, humor, and slipped slang. Like: I am happy that some bullies are out of my kids' lives and are on on the road to juvie. ("Juvie" in that statement is purposeful slang.) Yeah, some teachers are tough. Some can mostly be wonderful, but have an irrational moment from time to time. Some don't get high-functioning autism and find it hard to connect with kids like that. Some teachers forge across that chasm, and try to make things easier. I am glad that the teacher that made my daughter sit on the floor is gone. Some of these aforementioned facts are not abnormal or isolated. They happen in public schools across the country. You want a kid who knows that Abraham Lincoln had a tough childhood? Or one that knows the "new math" that leaves my mind reeling? Then put 'em in JVE. They will come out with so much knowledge that you will feel, like, well, not smarter than a fifth grader. If you need tips on dealing with autism in schools (e.g. how to communicate with teachers, how to make a communication booklet, IEP**s) or requesting learning disabilities services, just message me. *Quoted from the U.S. Department of Education. **Individualized Education Program

I feel no better now than the day Maggie told me what happened and my heart broke for her. I would like to say that I have never felt so disappointed and let down in my life. The principal was also in on the meeting. the smug look on his face and nonchalant attitude assures me that I did the right thing pulling Maggie out of Saint John Neumann Catholic School. The whole incident seems to have been blown off as the "joke" the 2 girls played it off be. Well my friends here is the true story: 2 girls from Maggie's class wrote mean notes during aftercare and signed them with my daughter's name, sealed them in a box and gave them to a 3rd grader. Things like you "are ugly, you are a hobo, your hair is ugly" etc Each individual note all signed with "maggie D". The 3rd grade teacher pulled Maggie aside and accused her of writing the notes without getting all of her facts straight. (The day this incident happened Maggie wasn't even in aftercare.) she didn't compare handwriting only took the word of 2 students over maggie. When Maggie said she new nothing about it the teacher asked one of the note writers who said, "yes Maggie you wrote them and told me to give them to The 3rd grade girl". Maggie said no i didn't. And the teacher tells her girl 1 is a good student and why would she lie? Same day school ends for Thanksgiving break. Maggie comes home and tells me everything. She asked me what the teacher meant when she said girl 1 was a good student and wouldn't lie? What does that mean about me? Sadly i couldn't answer that. Sad & weepy all weekend she doesn't go out to play only laying around watching tv. I contact teacher and by monday no response. After school monday Maggie says the kids said it was just a joke. If it were a joke why would bully #1 lie to teacher in front of maggie insisting she gave the notes??? There was even a student witness who knew it was done intentionally to get Maggie in trouble. I contact vice principal and she assures me this will be taken care of. The kids were to go home and tell their parents and then the vice principal would follow up making sure they told them everything. When i see parents at christmas program neither one apologizes for their kids behaviors acting like nothing happened. At that point i knew they didn't even know. I finally call both moms new years eve and sure enough neither one knew of what their daughters really did. School bully rules show several points the 2 girls broke including passing notes, lying, falsely accusing a student of something and list goes on. Both parents were shocked to find out what happened and both tell me school never told them anything other than it was a joke. at the meeting today I felt like i was talking to the couch. The look on principal's face and his attitude made me feel like anything I was saying didn't matter. Principal apologized to me, but it didn't seem sincere. They would not tell me what punishment was given but from talking to parents I am sure there was none. I know when Maggie lost 10 points last year for something minor I had to sign a paper. Certainly with something like this the parents would know if a punishment was given. At least both parents did apologize to me after I told them what the kids really did to both Maggie and 3rd grader. I appreciate that. And they seemed sincere. More than I can say about the school. I sent my daughter to a Catholic school to get the best education for her like I had for 12 years. But things have changed. It's more about money than the kids. The religion is taught from the books but not how to live it. From August til December was a miserable time for my daughter and sadly I paid $600 + a month to let people, including a teach treat her badly. Maybe today won't be a waste of time for other students in the future. Maybe the school will start taking bullying more seriously and not sweep it under the rug like other things. At least I know I fought for her and have tried to improve things for others.
