_________ It is our belief that students work more productively when not observed. Teachers need the full attention of your child to teach effectively. We are proud of our teachers and teaching methods so parents may check on students through class viewing window at any time. Keep in mind not to distract or disrupt students during class. Please do not block hallway as classes are letting out because children can become scared or frightened in tight spaces.
