I have 3 children @ Sheafe Rd. Elementary. I am pleased with their progress. Sheafe has many activities: Drama Club, Homework Club, Math Club, Math Carnivals, Fall Festivals, Ice Cream Socials, Reading Workshops w/ Mount St. Mary College, Science Fairs, Intramurals that include Football, Karate, Rock Wall Climbing, Track & Field, Bowling, Floor Hockey, Soccer, Tennis, Gymnastics & Dance ect... Yet, I am very concerned with the future of education in Wappingers Central School District. Due to budget cuts @ the state & county levels services are being cut. Next year the Enrichment Program & Bridge Classes will not be available @ Sheafe Rd. Loss of these services is a tragedy. All of my children have participated in one or both of these programs and are better students for it. One of my children, in particular, is learning impared & would still be struggling without those programs.
My daughter is in the 2nd grade . And so far she has had a wonderful time learning and getting great grades from k-2 and the staff has been very helpful. I have all nice things to say about the staff and the school . thank you and keep up the good work.
This is not the best school to attend if your child shows the need for special education intervention later on in their elementary years. You really have to be an advocate for your child and fight hard to get any help. I also do not care on how they grade low the 1st quarter just to give the child incentive to work harder for a higher grade. It is not fair to those who are already working hard and not seeing the reward.
I have had three (very different) children in Sheafe Road. I think this is the absolute best elementary school in New York! All of the teachers are incredibly kind and caring towards the students AND their families. Most teachers try to guides each student to use their full abilities but it's difficult sometimes due to all the strife in many of these children's lives. The new principal is outstanding and his energy and friendliness have infused the school with new vigor to strive toward excellence! The PTA does a lot to add extra fun into the school life.
