Lots of internal problems that affect school atmosphere - new leadership needed.

I am a parent of a special needs child. The schools staff and principal have bent over backwards to do everything they can to help my child. Since coming to Silver Beach this year my son has flourished. The parents are extremely active. There is always a volunteer in class. The children are giving and accepting. I cannot express how happy I am with Silver Beach. I hope to have all of my children go to this school.

The principal likes to look as though he is doing all he can for the school but in reality he has a large ego and he has a reputation among parents as unfriendly and unhelpful. The teachers my children had at Silver Beach were nice and caring. I have heard of some other teachers there that are not as great. The environment is not that stimulating.

As with all schools, there are some outstanding teachers and some that are just doing their time until retirement at Silver Beach. Some teachers motivate students and some teachers use the same curriculum for 15+ years- those are the ones that love to mark with red pen as much as possible on student work. There are extracurricular activites but, music is non-existant for k-2, sports for k-2? if you call that running on the playground then yes. There is a wonderful art program and Spaish program. There is high parent involvement. Siver Beach is like any other Bellingham school. A Principal with leadership and good teachers make all the difference in any school. This pricipal is hard to deal with, not friendly, unapproachable. The school property is well maintained, the staff is friendly, children seem to be happy at Sliver Beach.
