Waynesville Elementary School

Posted April 8, 2008

Hold your horses! In recent years WES has made a few improvements - but examine the CRCT scores in the pass-fail grades especially. The scores are like a roller coaster ride that goes up and down, up and down! Most of the original staff have left WES in the past two years alone. Whenever teachers are replaced repeatedly - the students lose ground. Also, common sense should dictate that the teachers with the most experience and best qualifications should be placed in the critical areas like Math and Reading. It seems like our leaders are just shuffling the staff around and trying a lot of different strategies in the hopes of stumbling onto something that actually works.

W.E.S has come a long way and I think they are doing a fantastic job. I feel completely safe sending my son to school every morning. Those of you who feel it is not what it should be should make a real effort to become more involved. If more time goes by than I think should or if I need information, I make the effort to contact my son's teacher. I understand that she is extremely busy and can't think of everything.

I have two children who attend Waynesville Elem. and I have to agree, there is some teachers there that are totally dedicated to their job and do it very well but there is others there that seem to me that there only there for a paycheck. My Youngest child is in Kin. and his teacher is excellent. She has recognized some problems my child is having and has helped get us on the track so he can be where he needs to be and not left behind in his class. But last year when I walked my older child to their class in the mornings I was never even greeted with a good morning by his teacher, even if I greeted her I was lucky to get a response. But as far as safety goes, I have never worried about my childs safety.

I disagree with the parent who feels that Waynesville Elem has become unsafe. I have children who attend the school and I have never felt they were in danger at any time.The one problem that I can see is there is a lack of communication between some of the teachers and the parents,and lack of parent envolvement.I think that a few of the teachers could make a better effort to keep the parents informed of what is going on in the classroom.Not only with behavioral problems but also with in school work and homework.Parents could be more involved if they were more aware without having to hunt the teacher down for information. Having said that,Waynesville is one of the better schools my children have gone to,and is getting better every day.
