I think one of the things that makes Kaleidoscope unique is the family environment we get to know everybody, we have small class sizes, you get to know your students. It's very important to have the community involved in our school. We do a lot of service-learning projects and community service and it's really important to start those things here at school, but also let them transfer into skills that they have lifelong and can do at home as well. It's a very close-knit community. Everyone seems to know each other and there's no bullying. All of the grades get along very well, there's a lot of parent activities. It's just overall a really big family. Community is a huge part of Kaleidoscope because it is a smaller school so we all are very connected and all of us teachers work really closely together to do what's best for all the students. Our school has a really big focus on working with family and parents and getting them in the classroom as much as possible. Taking them along on field trips they have a big focus on involving the parents partner in the student's education instead of just an outsider looking in. I think it really helps especially with supports with us teachers teaching the classroom they really try to teach them a lot of life skills how to operate the community how to find things that interact with people, job skills, life skills. So anytime as teachers we can have the support of families at home and other professionals in the community it really helps us do our job 'cuz that's really the reality of the world that kids live in is a real world. We have a whole lot of students with a wide variety of needs and abilities and skills and it's just fun to have them out in the community and have them out in the community know what's going on at Kaleidoscope 'cuz there's a lot of cool things at Kaleidoscope does.
