| 4/24/2012 | teacher | I am surprised to see a staff member air this out and would be surprised if it is a staff member. It must be nice to have a class completely under control with no student distractions. The working conditions are excellent and the support staff and administration are very professional and personable. Probably in their day they didn't have electricity. |
| 4/24/2012 | parent | The person who commented on the use of the intercom is a disgruntled neighbor who is a retired secondary teacher and has been out of the game for a long time. We no longer use the pony express to send messages. I know that the office staff use the intercom before and after school - hence the no parking in the red zone announcements. My children have been at Fruitvale since kinder and I have always been impressed with how the school is run. The office staff is very professional and welcoming. The teachers are top-notch and the administration is very supportive. If ever I had an issue or concern they were always there willing to help. I think the person who bad-mouthed such a wonderful school should go and talk with the office instead of hiding behind a post. I, for one, love the school! |
| 4/23/2012 | teacher | Excessive misuse of intercom/paging system by faculty is highly disruptive to the student's learning process. Every student is constantly bombarded by these rogue, unnecessary pages throughout the day telling so-and-so to report to the Principals office and so-and-so parent needs to move their vehicle because they are parked in the red. In my day we used the messenger with a pass system that hardly caused a disturbance. Absolutely ridiculous. I hope something is done about this soon. |
| 10/7/2011 | teacher | Working for Fruitvale Elementary has definitely been life-changing. My colleagues are so dedicated and have such a passion for teaching that makes coming to work everyday so enjoyable. My husband and I were so impressed with the school that we even purchased a home in the area just so that our children could attend Fruitvale. It's a geat school with caring staff. Thank you for all that you do for our students and thank you for making Fruitvale a great place to work!!! |
| 3/17/2011 | parent | The principal at the school is incredible. She has gone out of her way numerous times to assist my son when he is struggling to keep up with his peers. She has even extended an offer to provide him with one on one tutoring after school if need be. The teachers are excellent as well. |
| 4/22/2010 | parent | This school has been great for my son, The staff keeps me informed at all times, and even if I have a concern and drop in someone there will always help me. Silva and Brooks are wonderful and attentive. |
| 8/27/2009 | parent | We love being a part of the Friutvale community.Our Daughter is learning so much more than the A,B,C'S. She is learning community spirit and real values that we hope will help her the rest of her life.Of course she is also getting an excellent education.Our daughter is doing so well that we (us and the school) work together to challenge her.There are extra services available, if you ask and the staff always is willing to help in anyway.She has not been in school for very long but we already feel we know everyone,the teachers,the staff,the helpers,the PTA and many families.We would encourage any parent considering Friutvale to stop by and see for youself!!Also the campus is always clean,last year we caught our vice principal sweeping the front area of all the fall leaves for the students!That's an extra mile!!Also the campus is always locked during school hours making us feel safe. |
| 8/26/2009 | parent | Great teachers and staff. They really do go the extra mile to improve student success. |
| 1/24/2007 | parent | I think this is a great school. The teachers and staff are wonderful. My only complaint is that my child needs to be challenged a bit more and the teachers are not able to attend to his individual needs. |
| 8/17/2004 | parent | Leadership staff is great, we need better security on campus though. Adults need to check into office. |
| 9/17/2003 | parent | I have 2 children in this school. The administration and the teachers are a wonderful asset to this school. |
