Ranchito Avenue Elementary School

I have to disagree with the point of view of other parents. I think the parent center is a great resources and that the personnel that supports it is great. You have to realize that she can only dedicated a certain amount of time. She can't always get to everything. She is a great person and is very helpful. If it was not for her we would not have a parent center. Be greatful and instead of critizing ask if she needs any help because she can be overwhelm.

I was reading a review. I too have concerns about the way parents from other cultures are treated. Not by the school, but by the parent who suppose to support us. I was upset that when i ask for help, she does not give her time to help. She always say she will get back to me and never does. She always look mad and at a workshop she spoke to us parents in a rude way. I do not think she should be in school if she does not act professional or is helping parents.What is her job if not to help us?

I think Ranchito and the staff are great. My concern is with the Parent Center. I have been hearing that when we have a center there will be more workshops and opportunities for parents to be involved with school. Well, myself and other parents think that the Center Director should be true to their word and start doing something for the parents and what they need.The very few workshops we have heard about were not even worth the time according to parents. We hardly see her around school interacting with other parents but isn't that her job? An where is the translation for Spanish speaking parents? Some do not feel welcome at all, and what is the purpose of having a center if we can't use it?

This is my first time to visit this site. I am happy that there is a place where parents can actually view more about the school and its community. I am shock however that a parent would call these parent volunteers 'Free Workers'. Shame on her/him. Does she not see how caring these parents are to just take time off their schedule whether home or work, just to show support not only to the school but their child as well. These parents are definitely deserve to be complimented and not insulted. I like ranchito and it's community. I like what the school has to offer and give my child. The Principal and staff are supportive and the parents are just fabulous! Kudos to Ranchito and it's parents!
