Old Trail is a very special place. I spent 29 years there as a parent, trustee and then employee. I agree the teacher are important to the success of the school. The other staff members also enhance the experience, whether it be a bus driver, kitchen staff, and the dedicated employees in the other offices of the school. The interaction they all provide to the parents and students make a difference.

We are grateful for the caring, thoughtful and playful learning environment OTS provides! Mrs. LaTourette and Mrs. Gally have been intentional and instrumental in teaching our daughter so many wonderful concepts and encouraging great behaviors during such an important time in her development. Mrs. Irwin has shown such dedication and care towards the experience our children receive. And I’m so thankful for the time Mrs. Johnston has taken to invest in the future of even her youngest students. There are many more educators we are very appreciative of and who contribute to all we’ve seen at Old Trail School! We are excited to continue our journey here!
