Teachers complete informal and formal assessments annually, and portfolios are kept along with anecdotal notes for each child in all toddler and preschool classes. Reveille Weekday School has a long history of attracting talented teachers and staff, as well as loving families.Almost three-quarters of our staff have either children or grandchildren (or both) who attended Reveille Weekday School, and some of our current students are second-generation families.The Reveille Weekday School staff seeks to exemplify God’s love by providing care and by showing respect for each child as a unique and valued person.
