The Pleased Parent

95% of parents agree that Chandler Woods provides a safe environment, high expectations, and an atmosphere where their children can enjoy school. The following is a testimonial from Stephanie Ragon, a pleased parent at Chandler Woods.

“We cannot say enough about how thrilled we are to be a part of the Chandler Woods family. We brought our three boys here after seven years of private education. As we made the stressful transition to a new school, the staff at Chandler Woods made us feel welcome from the moment we called to register the boys.

Academically, the children are challenged and met with opportunities that match their skills and personalities. We know exactly how the boys are doing each day and what is expected of them. We are so impressed with the academic strength balanced with specific discipline and character development that Chandler provides to help us build a strong foundation for our children. Not only are our boys challenged academically, but also with the arts, physical education and an opportunity for sports and extracurricular activities.

We are encouraged to participate in the school as parents and have been immeasurably impressed by what we have seen in the staff and in the students. How refreshing to see the staff wholeheartedly greeting the children as they arrive and wishing them well at day’s end. Our boys have truly blossomed this school year. It is so heartening to know that when we drop the children off at school, they are safe, cared for and challenged in all aspects of their education. Chandler Woods has exceeded our previous parochial school experience. We are so pleased to be a part of it and look forward to the next decade as all four of our children are guided to their best potential by some of the best in the educational field -members of the Chandler Woods family.”

Chandler Woods is responsible to educate every single student that comes through its doors; however, all of the extras make it a place in which people want to be a part. Diane Roedema says it this way, “Chandler Woods Charter Academy has the most wonderful teachers and administrators that I have come across since our son became school age. Being an involved parent who likes to work in the classroom, I have a chance to see up close and personal how the school operates.”
The following are some of the ways Chandler Woods has gone the “extra mile”:

• Greeting students as they exit their cars in the morning and escorting them back again at the end of the day
• Teachers tutoring after school
• Teachers volunteering to coach, lead clubs, and interact socially with students
• Monthly Kindergarten family gatherings
• Parent coffees with the principal
