School Reviews

Mrs. Hogue2nd-grade teacher let me start this review by saying that if you are lucky enough, you will have Mrs. Hogue as your child's teacher. She has many qualities: compassion, enthusiasm, and excellent communication skills. My son has ADHD and Absence Epilepsy since he was three years old, and for so many years, we have struggled to find the correct medicine and doses for him. He went from being aggressive to other students and unable to sit and work in class to being a happy, kind, and lovely boy who now participates in school activities just like any other student. The support Mrs. Hogue provided us was a blessing for us. She supports us with accommodations in the classroom to help our son and work with us and the aide to achieve our goals. Mrs. Hogue could see beyond my son's behavior issues; she recognized his intelligence and encouraged him to do his best using empathy, positive reinforcement, and rewards. I will always be grateful!-Heysell Mendoza
