Ms. Bertrand was one of the first teachers I met. She engaged with my girls immediately. She identfiied the areas where they were falling short and began to teach them procedures that would help them overcome. My girls began to feel self-assured again. During the parent-teacher conferences, I would always take notes of the information she gave me and at times when I didn't understand homework or assignments, Ms. Washington would give me clarity and assurance of all changes. She has a way of making you feel top priority, not just with my children, but with each child and parent and I have seen this myself. I trust her totally with my girls and am grateful how my girls have achieved a better education. Ms. Washington has taught my girls leadership both inside and outside of the classroom. She has given me heads up so I can be able to help my children. I simply love how she breaks down the work into layman's terms for me. Thank you Ms. Washington for helping me become an even prouder parent.
