James Sales Elementary School 1301 113th Street South, Tacoma, WA 98444

"This school is awesome because they give us learning experiences and we get to go on cool field trips and it's just so awesome right now we are doing the days of hope sometimes we do the twelve days of hope and get things from our community."

"This use to be an uplifting school that encouraged the students not only in academics, but also encourage them to love themselves individually. I'm saddened by all the changes this school has made because it's really discouraging to not only our students but our parents as well."

"Principal more than willing to discuss and work with parent to solve an issue after the fact, was very nice to me! The problem was when my child, whom is known to have IEP issues and gets in a position that requires discipline or suspention. The parent gets little or no notice until the bus driver shuts the door in a parents face telling the child to turn around and go back. I received only a short notice in voice mail from transportation who continued to allow him to ride the bus for two days. I received no other notice or request to be notified or instructed about the course of events until I became aware and confronted the school and transportation. I felt the two of them, transportation and the school, where on less than the same page. my child was wrong for fighting and the action shoulda been immediate and swiftt not taking over course in 2 weeks"
