The teachers are all attentive and very skilled educators. The school provides wonderful enrichment such as chess, tennis, and science - this is on top of the weekly school curriculum which includes Spanish, art and music classes. I also have to mention Principal Goethals - who is just the crème de la crème! She goes above and beyond to ensure the students feel safe and nurtured while also cultivating a great atmosphere for learning. We are very grateful for this terrific school and community!

Prospective parents might want to think twice about this school.

Yesterday, my husband and I were lucky enough to attend their prospective parent open house and to say I was impressed would be an understatement. The morning began by having us sit in on their twice weekly school assembly (called "Community"). It hit to the heart of what it means to be in a community! It was inspiring. Completely led by the students themselves, yesterday's assembly was entirely run by the second graders! What a joy! It really set the stage for what proved to be a very enjoyable morning. Everyone we met made us feel instantly at home...the staff, the parents, the security team who helped us find a parking spot and especially the two 6th graders who gave my husband and I our own special "VIP" tour! Their engagement and passion for sharing their experiences truly warmed our hearts. We appreciated hearing from so many staff members who are clearly committed to providing the most nurturing educational experience for the students. We know the students at Wesley are in very capable hands.

One october, I went into a dark mysterious booth and ate someone's fingers off. It tasted like sausages and catsup. Another time it was potluck day and I enjoyed baklavas and gnochis and double fudge for the first time. When luncheables hit the scene, all the rich fat kids suddenly became cool and had new friends. I was friends with one of them, and every once in a while I'd get tossed a cracker and cheese (no ham/turkey), which I'd gobble up with gratitude. Some time later, my mom bought me ritz crackers, some cheese whip, and sliced ham sliced some more into little squares. They were okay. After a hot recess of four squares and tetherball, I'd take a drink from the fountain by the stairs. The water was cold, even on the warmest days, and tasted always a little like a bloody nose. I met the only girl I ever loved for the first time here. But that's another story for another yelp.

When a child no longer likes going to school because of their teacher, it is a major problem--and this isn't the first year we have had issues here. The fourth-grade teacher holds all children in during recess and lunch (which is illegal in many districts). She even tells the students she receives multiple emails from parents saying she is being 'mean,' yet she continues to hold them in class. Furthermore, the students are required to leave their backpacks and lunch bags outside. While these items are left unattended, other children walk by and steal from them. Despite multiple calls and emails to the principal to inform her of the teacher's behavior and the theft, nothing has been done. This is a serious problem."
