Testimonials

What they say about us

Public Programs

While our students are back to focusing on learning, credit is due to the district’s ongoing commitment to testing and responding proactively to the data with the measures and care our educators and health experts have at their disposal. Testing contributed to where we are today: a reduction of in-school transmission to almost zero.

We began using antigen testing following extended breaks. After Winter Break, we were able to significantly decrease exposure due to a staggered school day start and antigen testing. This program has kept our school in-person through the Omicron surge and we are very grateful for it.

The Primary family has made me feel at home from the day I interviewed. My managers help me strive for excellence and gave me the opportunity to hone my skills as a software engineer. You can reach out to anyone on the team if you’re blocked and they’ll be more than happy to guide you in the right direction.
