“My main focus as a teacher at Denn John is to make sure my students are valued, loved, cared for, and make sure they know that before academics take place. Because in order for academics to take place they first have to feel that value and feel validity in their feelings and know that they’re loved. We believe in the whole child, not just the academic standpoint so we’re really going to strive to make sure your child not only is successful not in the classroom, but also as they carry it outside the walls of our school.”
-Kara Bailey, Teacher at Denn John Middle School
