Bret Harte Elementary

Bret Harte is a greatest and cutest little elementary school. The teachers and staff are all great the school is large but small at the same time and very clean. I believe this school has the most parent volunteers including myself I love to give my time back because the teachers truly appreciate your help and the kids love to see their parents volunteering they make it easy for parents to get involved with many opportunities throughout the year or all year if possible. There’s even a d.j. for the kids in the playground on Fridays. One of the dad’s is the school d.j. he volunteers his time to give the kids a little something extra to make that friday more special. And he’s also there at all the school events providing great music for our ears. There are many family events throughout the year sometimes during school and sometimes after school if your a working parent there are plenty of opportunities for you to get it on the fun.
Bret harte is not only a school it’s a little community in which everyone is involved knows each other and respects each other.
Excellent communication from teachers about your children’s progress or when you need them.
Most importantly though Bret Harte is a safe school.
The staff here is amazing all the yard duty ladies know all the kids and their parents so when it comes to dismissal time they make sure your child leaves with a familiar face. I’m always so amazed at how they can remember so many names and faces and cars. Lucy is the best at this she always ensures your child is safe. I think she’s the best after school and the kids think she’s the best during recess and lunch «she’s fair!» I hear. :-) and when I pull up at the pick up area sometimes in different cars she knows who Iam and who my children are lets them know I’m there because the kids are not always paying attention :-/​and she keeps that drop off pick up area moving quickly with her car memorization skills.
I’m so happy that my kids came to Bret Harte they both started in kindergarten one has graduated since and the other has three years left. I will truly miss this wonderful little community when my second is all done with his time at Bret Harte.
