My experience so far already in the beginning of the year is not so great. My son has an IEP no one has addressed with me, is on a spectrum for autism still needs some testing done, he constantly has to deal with racism by other non melanated children, every day he comes home sad or upset because he feels he doesn’t have a voice in a school where he is different but also gets treated as such. Aside from those disappointments I am directed to communicate through an app rather than speak in person with my child’s teachers or principal. Although they may be remodeling the school, they need to remodel the hearts of those who claims they are there for our children, and have an assembly about bullying and racism to continue to strive as a “Good School”.

Hellen Smith is an excellent school for children of special needs. My son is in a class of 10 w/ 3 wonderful caring teachers who are dedicated to the understanding of the needs of the children. They take time to speak to parents w/out the need of a meeting. The staff are pleasant and the nurses department are professional in caring for students health seriously. I couldn't ask for a better school for my autistic child

i LOVE this school! My daughter just stareted this year (2010-2011) and we had to move 2 months into the year, she cried her eyes out at the new school, we ended up moving back so she could continue being a SUPERSTAR. The teachers are great. My daughter had trouble with learning a few things, and she gets better everyday. i couldn't be any happier with where she is.

As a prent of 2 school age children I can honestly say "I LOVE THIS SCHOOL" When I wake the kids the big question is WHAT DAY IS IT? Thats so they know what to dress for (p.e.,art, or shool shirt). I enjoy the ride to school,after picking up neighbors, the kids all talk about the day before in class and what they are doing today. It makes me feel good the first person we see is the lady who guides the cars and busses. She is always smiling and greeting the students by name. Our next step is to the classrooms where we are greating the same way. We all know the teachers do fantastic jobs that is proven time and time but to see they enjoy it is nice. I have to give the teachers and staff they are there for the students all the time.

Helen Marie Smith Elementary School has been chosen as one of a select few schools in the nation to receive the coveted 2010 Blue Ribbon National School designation from the United States Department of Education. US Secretary of Education Arne Duncan announced on September 9 that only 304 schools 264 public and 50 private - were named for the honor this year. Only two schools in the state of Nevada were selected for the award that recognizes schools that are either academically superior or have made dramatic gains in student achievement and helped close the gap in achievement among minority and disadvantaged students. I am very proud of my staff and our community. It was truly a team effort of all of our stakeholders in the community..
