The administration at this school is fully aware of how poorly they've treated their staff. Instead of addressing the issues, they seem more focused on hiding the truth. For this matter my daughter will not enroll in this school. The front staff are so rude! They need to be trained on proper customer service. And the principal is rude as well. They all need better training! But what's done in the dark always finds its way to the light. To any parents considering this school please think twice. For the sake of your children and the educators who deserve better.

Not every elementary school in the district has T-K; it is short for transitional kindergarten. It basically screws over the kids that are born after August something until December. Gavin was born on Sept. 30 which potentially means he is already a year late but whatevs. I wonder who the hell decided on that. Due to costs, I was no longer able to afford his stay w/ his pre-school so I opted for a babysitter. Everyday I get off of work, I see him bored and unchallenged. I paid for someone to keep him locked in a room. He was occupied w/ television and my iPad. No brain stimulation and no interaction. He fed himself (I packed his backpack w/ snacks, drinks, and a sandwich) and threw the leftovers or the plastic bags away. He could have "watched" himself. After 20 days (4 weeks), I decided it was enough. I made all these crazy arrangements to complete his enrollment packet. This school was full but thank goodness they were quick to contact me and let him start school that Monday. Everything was confirmed on a Friday. I was so thrilled. The principal, the office staff, and his teacher made us feel welcomed and at home. The top pillars contain quotes from "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" by Stephen McCovey. I recognized that right away. I am blessed and cannot tell you how much he enjoys going to school. The school is clean, relatively well structured but parking can be a pain in the ass. I get there 20 min. early just to chill in the car. Thanks, Toyon!

I didn't receive a call from the teacher/school about it. Grandpa went down to the school to speak to the principal but she was busy, so he spoke to the teacher and she said she was only aware of the student kissing my son on his shoulder. I was upset that they did not tell me. I didn't get a phone call back from the principal until I called the district, she called about an hour or 2 later. (2 days later). I told the principal my son is uncomfortable and to move him classes and she told me now. I went down to the district and they said they would call me within 24 hours. It's been a little over 2 days now. No one has returns my voicemail since they don't answer their phone.

Meyer Elementary school, this staff name Ms. Santana questioned my daughter about what my child was…read moretelling me when I picked her up from school (Ms. Santana had called my daughters attention earlier that day for no reason and had left my child without recess making her sit down at a bench). The next day Ms. Santana questioned my daughter about what she had told me regarding what had happened (leaving her without recess and accusing her of pushing another gril) she involved Ms. Lopez (lunch lady) the lunch lady got mad at my daughter and grabbed my daughter by her wrist leaving two small bruises. I noticed the bruises the next day in the morning and went straight to the principal (Dr. Carilo) I told her everything that was going on she couldn't believe it and told me she would investigate and call me later. That same day Dr. Carillo questioned my daughter about the situation the principal intimidated my daughter and made her cry and told her she's the one coming to school she needs to fix her own problems and not involve the parents!!! I went straight to the cops and of course had to let the district know too! The principal and staff changed the story and stated my daughter got the bruising from the monkey bars which she doesn't play that and also stated that one of my daughters friends pushed her and made the bruises, and when the cops asked for the videos from the school cameras they stated the cameras didn't capture the location of where the incident happened. The case was dropped!

It was back in the day when there were a lot of people who like to do negative things. But my kids are always safe here... Mr. Totter was the principal back then... He was so funny! He always make the kids laugh and he was very very conversational. He knew every child by their first name and he worked hard to create the best educational environment for each individual child. Teachers at the school have always been awesome! They care about their children that they teach and they care about the families too. They still have baseball games through east side Little League at the school. It's a good place to walk your dog as well. If you're lucky enough to have your child go here... I think you will find it to be a pleasant experience for your child and yourself as well.

From the teachers to the staff to the other families, everyone is welcoming, supportive, and genuinely invested in the students. The teachers care deeply about their students and go above and beyond to support them both academically and personally. I've seen firsthand how much dedication they bring to the classroom, and it makes a meaningful difference for my daughter. The Extended Care program has also been amazing. As a working parent, it's incredibly helpful, but what really stands out is how wonderful the teachers are with the kids (shout out to Mrs. Cindy and Mrs. Isola). They create such a positive environment that it's sometimes hard to get my daughter to leave at pickup! We feel very lucky to be part of the Saint John Vianney community and are grateful for the caring environment they provide for our daughter every day.

Our conversations are generally 80% fitness and 20% whatever else. It's nice to start meeting people that have the same level of passion as I do when it comes to health and fitness. Like Basho, the gym comes first (after work).. that is the type of mentality that I have which I appreciate. A few people was there at the school as well but they were catching Pokemon. We just sat and stared up at the sky which is what I never do. It was nice, I guess but it was nicer when we talked about the Spartan race. This school is an automatic chill place when there is no lunch, dinner, or anything else involved - just good conversations. This is a very safe neighborhood. Good school district. This school belongs in the Berryessa Union School District. I moved just recently, I will update once school starts in the fall. Let's see how idiotic the drivers can be when they drop off their kids at school...

She is non-approachable and makes it very difficult to have a meaningful conversation. The students in the non-Mandarin immersion classes are also very behind academically, both in English and Math. The school does not provide sufficient support, or opportunity for kids to do well in their studies. Kids who excel academically will be held back at this school as there are no opportunities for them to further improve or shine. They are given movie time in class, where the kids watch movies/cartoons instead. Some of the teachers tend to give out homework for the sake of giving out homework. Most of the homework is meaningless, time-wasting, with no added value.
