Tomiyasu Elementary School

Posted August 26, 2009

My daughter went to this school her whole elementary years and now my son is going, I love the school and how it feels safe, there is something about the teachers and staff that make you always feel welcome.

We have just one child left at Tomiyasu, in fourth grade. We've been there since 1999, with the other three children going all the way through, coming out well prepared for middle and high. The culture is great - respectful and welcoming. We have a phenomenal new principal this year, 'data' smart and also good with people, a rare combination. In all those years and teachers, there was only one teacher we weren't completely thrilled with (and we have high hopes that the new principal will hold accountable and either get this teacher going on the right track or out). I could go on and on about the absolute miracles all the others have made happen in our kids' lives - Mrs. Gallant, the full-day K teacher, cannot be matched. Mrs. Gardino, Mrs. Galante, Mrs. Clayman - these are just a few of the miracle workers at Tomiyasu. Great PTA too!

I have two kids at Tomiyasu. I, too, am sticking in this school zoning until my kids have all attended Tomiyasu. The school is absolutely phenomenal! Both of my daughter had Mrs. Swain. She is wonderful. One of my daughters also had Mrs. Romeo, although Mrs. Paris has taken over her class this year. I am very displeased with Mrs. Paris, but the rest of the school makes up for it. I just hope my other kids can dodge getting her as their teacher or that Mrs. Paris will have it together by then. For Kindergarten, Mrs. Swain is by far the best teacher I have ever met. The kids love her and so will you. All of the teachers welcome parents in their classroom, with the exception of Mrs. Paris. Mrs. Paris will ignore you, tell you she doesn't have time for you, etc. She's full of excuses.

I saw the comment below. My daughter had many problems with her reading and then did not want to do any homework because her teacher made it hard for her. Then my daughter went to Mrs. Romeo's class. Not only did we see a complete change in our child's attitude, but Mrs. Romeo took the time to meet with us and to offer ways for us to help at home. We were very sad to hear that Mrs. Romeo left the school recently, she was probably the best teacher there.
