I have finally found a school that can make my son want to go to school. He has been home schooled…read more and in other elementary schools. He was kicked out of both elementary schools. They never took the time to get to know him or help him. Valley Verde has great teacher's who care about a child and go way above. I can't give the School 5 stars and I'm sad about that. The two ladies who help the students out of the car in the morning are bullies to multiple parents. Normally they came to drop off latter than when the gate opens and this makes the child have to cross the divide alone. They Always come out talking on a cell phone. And when a parent stops long enough to watch Their child go through the gates to make sure they got into school Safe the ladies start banging on the windows and yelling at the parents. Do they not realize how many students go missing every year on their way to school? That until they walk through the school gates anything can happen. So I guess the 100% no bulling only means for the students. What about all the other students who watch these two yelling at other parents what does that show them? Better traing for them is needed.

I arrived with ONE person waiting. After about 15 minutes of not being helped, that person left to the restroom so I obviously moved to the front of the line. Another woman got behind me after filling out a packet, then the first woman came back and got behind her. There was one receptionist and alot of phone calls and kiddos coming through so I understand she was super busy, but with my receptionist experience you help people who are in your face before you help a phone call. After about 45 minutes of standing there(ONLY needing an enrollment packet) she decides to help the lady behind me FIRST, and then the woman behind her FIRST. I find that extremely ridiculous. Waiting 45 minutes to an hour for a packet to be given to me, and 2 people who were behind me being helped first, as well as multiple phone calls? Horrible. I had high hopes after hearing such good things about this school. Hopefully my child's experience there will be better than mine.
