As a parent of one of Mrs. O'Neal's current students, I can say that she has high expectations because she knows that the students need a solid foundation on which to build. Because of this, she takes the time on a daily basis to provide feedback to parents on their child's progress and needs in the classroom. She has the knowledge and skills necessary to produce exemplary outcomes with her students, as I have seen through the growth of my son's reading and writing abilities this year. She makes an effort to include not only parents but also grandparents into the learning environment and tries to make learning fun for all of her students. Her dedication and hard work is greatly appreciated by my family.
