Southshore Elementary School

Not good, they just don't seem to care

So far not so good. I'm disappointed with the staff both his teacher and front office staff. Both the nurses at the school have been the only two people who have been helpful and welcoming. Will update again half way through the year.

This school, and the district for that matter, has an unrealistic world-view. I am consistently faced with poor communication tactics/strategies and borderline ludicrous expectations regarding parent availability to attend events or receive critical information (no consideration for working parents!). It is very concerning that parents are told they will receive information in the mail and then are told to come and pick up said information within a very small window of time - with no appropriate alternative! Not to mention the fact that the teachers post school supply demands in direct violation of California state law!!

The new principal, Mrs. Vilas is the best thing to happen to Southshore. She truly cares about the students and consistently goes above and beyond for parents, students, teachers and the community. She is extremely fair when disciplining students. My three children love her and report enjoying coming to school every day because of her.
