(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - It was recommended my grandchldrn attend Spruce Street School, April 2010. My grandchildren were enrolled @ Spruce St School, in Sept. 2010. In the first month, I've seen dramatic differences from their former school and their responses to them. The Principal, Dr. Jetter, is warm, caring, and truly concerned with the students well being. He's a dynamic Principal. I was happy with my grandchildren's teachers @ their prior schools. However, their Spruce St. teachers seem to have especially good influence over my grandchildren.
I never expected this major improvement and rapport to happen so quickly. I cannot speak on anything else, being only one month into the school year.
