HHES is not parent-friendly. They basically don't want any parent involvement and make sure that last minute information is sent out so that meetings, awards, open houses, etc are not well attended. If you have a cookie-cutter kid t hat fits nicely inside a box, you may fair ok at this school. This campus is not well suited to working with individual students and they seem to go to great lengths to maintain control of each and every aspect of the child's school life. Coats and jackets are not permitted in the school building. The principal greets kids at the front door, ensuring that coats have been removed as soon as their little feet have crossed the threshold. Some classes are allowed class pets and others are not. Rarely is anyone met with a smile as they come in the door of the school. Frowns and eye darts are common place.
I was very unhappy with my child's experience at this school. My experiences with the principal were very unprofessional. I did not feel like it was a parent friendly environment for me to discuss issues concerning my child.
I must say that I think this isnot a good school environment for children at all. My daughter attended this school for two years, and I am happy to say that none of my other three little ones will attend this school. The principle at this school is not professional at all. It's a bad learning environement to me, parents are not welcome to come and stop by at any time. Which makes it seem like something is going on in the school.
I attended this school what seems like ages ago. The quality of the faculty is uncomparable to any other. I can still go back and the teachers I had still remember me. They watched me grow up. My second grade teacher just retired last year and I sent her a retirement card. That's how special these teachers are here. They've touched my heart in a way I will never forget them.
