I am a firs time parent at Burbank Bld. Elementary,my son just turn five and he is kindergardener...I have notice there is none extra curricular activities not enogh parent involvememt or much input from school principal.I see that most kindergardener teachers go out of their way to help our little ones exel.However something that bother me was to see out side one of the kinder rooms was a display of kinderners work,based on red ribon awaerness day(drug free)that was completed by the children followin the sentence:I chose to be drug free,insted...(children had to compleate.) I think this little ones are way to jong to be thougt abouth dugs at least my son has no idea what that means,is a bit scary that what our children can be expose in such an early age.My question is: Is this Apropiate ?

My boys love their school !! Teachers are great and make a real effort to teach our children! We also have a Parent Center an after school program and many aids.Thanks to all the staff that helps educate our children. Unfortunately my only bad experience has been with our principal. : { Burbank Bees you rock!!!

Academic programs are excellent at the present but there should be additional programs that would include all student (ethnic) backgrounds. The availability of music, art, sports and any other extracurricular activities and totally absent for this school. The Teachers are very talented and devoted to their profession (those as of '07). Most of the teachers go above and be on what their 'teaching' description calls for. They have be limited with classroom funds and used their own 'out of packet' money to purchase items to encourage students, present cheerful classrooms, and get much needed classroom supplies. Parent involvement has been 150% 'great' due to the Coordinator who was a professional with a heart!! All of these things are done without the support of the Principal.

Being a first time parent at a public school, I have had a lot of questions go un-answered by the office staff Teacher Quality: My child loves the teacher and she is wonderful with her students. The work can be a little harder. I feel that the younger children should start doing small spelling words; i.e.; he, it, I, you. So they will be better prepared for reading in in the higher grades It would also look good for the school, as far as reading scores go for the students.
