This year My daughter has mrs Heidi Ellinger ,in my opinion she is a big game player .! Since the beginning of the year she's had an epiphany against me . I was not able to attend the beginning of the year meetings due to I had just started in the union . Now I have a little bit more time just because I was offered a job through Union friend with better benefits, and more pay who would not switch especially when it's something I love and I'm able to take all those days off, I have my princess !! Moving forward that's beyond the point !! My daughters mother and her husband was able to attend . I was not able to obtain any information due to personal reasons .I've always tried to speak with the teacher .I had just went to this trimesters . Parent teacher conference, which I was able to obtain some really good information to see what my daughter needs to work on but unfortunately the teacher was playing the game from when I had shown up trying to figure out me more about me than keep it on a respectable professional level.. which is very disrespectful from somebody that has graduated with honors I just is looking for the same for my kid! Anyone that is a single parent understands where I'm coming from we're not here to play games. We are here to figure out what our kids need to work on that we truly do love unconditional . I see why a lot of people are turning to homeschooling because of the nonsense that we have to deal with in public schools. Unfortunately, if it was my choice, my daughter would be at nelda Munday elementary where I attended and I see why they're still a distinguish school way better school a lot more respectable teachers. Now the teacher was playing the game so much with me. I'm worried about mine and my families well-being, and it shouldn't be like that coming from a public school. And unfortunately, if this keeps occurring or the game keeps being played with somebody, that does not want to be, my lawyers will be getting involved. Send the reviews from the school. I'm sure there's multiple parents that would not mind starting at class action lawsuit on the civil rights movement . I just wanted to make it known because instead of me making a public scene I like to put it all down documented and this is the best way to do it. I have a long commute all the way from San Francisco just to put up with nonsense which is very unfortunate. Hoping when my mother helps me now she will not be in harms way as well. Thanks

My children have received several character awards, and I received numerous phone calls when they exhibited leadership at the school. One of my girls is in an IEP program. The teachers didn't treat her any differently, and my wife and I didn't perceive a stigma being placed on her. She's received and celebrated. My beloved children are bright and talented; however, their character is the tripod for carrying their brilliance to humanity. Ms. Andrews and the team really love the students, and we're building them together.

VCS has been such a blessing to our family, and honestly, there aren't enough words to adequately…read moreexpress what this school community has meant to us. Our daughter started 5th grade at VCS last year, and has transitioned into VCS middle school. We have seen her grow in ways that go far beyond the classroom. The families here genuinely support one another and are deeply invested in the personal, social, academic, emotional, and spiritual growth of our kids. It truly is a VCS community. VCS has also given our daughter the courage and confidence to try new things and put herself out there in ways she never had before. Last year, she was introduced to musical theater for the very first time. She was nervous and hesitant to try it, but she quickly fell in love with her instructors and made new friends. She has even chosen to take it as one of her extracurricular courses this year. She also joined the cross-country team for the first time and is planning to try out for the soccer team. Watching her become willing to try new things and discover what she loves has been incredibly meaningful to us as parents. We have also been so impressed by the teachers and staff. They are unbelievably supportive. Our daughter knows she can ask seek help and be herself without fear of judgment. Teachers take the time to make sure their students feel seen and supported. We appreciate that VCS is helping our daughter grow not only as a student, but as a young person who is learning to live out her faith, develop confidence, build meaningful relationships, and discover the gifts God has given her. We are incredibly proud to be supporters and advocates of VCS. We have found a place where our daughter and son are growing and thriving, and people who genuinely care about our family. We quite literally can't imagine our lives without VCS now, and we are so grateful for everything this school has given our daughter and our entire family.

The cost of a private school isnt cheap, but after seeing the results in my daughter, is totally worth the investment. My daughter is reading 2-3 grade levels above her grade, is excelling in the arts, and is learning compassion, discipline, and manners. This is something that is not typically found in the public school setting.The average class size is between 16-20 children, so there is plenty of individualized attention. BLS offers computer science, band, religion,and many more after school enrichment opportunities.The staff and principal are highly educated,and are devoted to the childrens well being and development. This school is a close knit family, that really prepares your child for their future career in college, or the workplace! GO BLS!!

The PEP Program is FSUSD's best kept secret. A little too well kept! The program is open to ALL…read morestudents in the district (you don't have to live in Crescent's attendance area) who are in grades K-5. The program basically works like this: parents volunteer one day a week in the classroom, for approximately 3 hours. This gives teachers more one-on-one time with students, parents get to be hands on with their child's education, and it builds a community rarely seen in our busy world. The teachers are dedicated, going above and beyond what is required. We've had a volunteer choir when no music program was available through the district. We go on field trips, and fund raise so that EVERY student goes on the field trip with no worries about cost. I have the enviable position of knowing all the parents of my child's classmates as well as all his classmates. Students who are exceeding grade level work can go to the next grade level up for that particular subject, and aren't going into the classroom of a teacher they are unfamiliar with. Students requiring additional attention are able to receive it, by parent volunteers in the classroom AND their teacher. There are family gathering events, from Winter Concerts to potlucks. We have a "Dad's Day" where dads, grandpas, uncles, etc. come in and share something about their jobs or hobbies. Last year we had a Vallejo motorcycle police officer and the kids (and a few teachers!) got to sit on his bike, there was fishing, working on electronics, trying on military tactical gear and much more. There are special themed centers for holidays, a monthly Books & Bagels event for kindergarten & first grade, and there was talk of starting a robotics team this coming school year. Knowing all the benefits of this program as well as the opportunity to be in there, not just attending PTO meetings, had made all the difference for me. My child loves it and is successful in school, I love it, and I want more families to know this is an option for them.
