"I have been a parent at Pulaski since my kids where in Pre-K. I am proud to say that this year my kids will be graduating and going to a good High School. Even though Pulaski has gone through some rough challenges, as a school community, it has shown the students that they can overcome anything in life. I would like to say THANK YOU to the teachers, staff and principal for their commitment, hard work and support. KEEP ON ROCKING!"

"I have been a parent of a student at Pulaski for three years and every year I have been impressed by the growth in learning from my child and the other children I've seen at the school. I am also part of the school's Council of parents and staff that oversee the operations of the school. This is the hardest working staff I have ever seen. The teachers are motivated and their students are excited to learn. The International Baccalaureate program is in place for all grade levels and is connecting the students to people and cultures around the world. The principal's vision inspiring. He is building strong team work amongst teachers and is helping the students become competitive for High School and then college. Parents are involved on a daily basis around the school as well as organizing larger events for the school and community. This school feels like people are working together to build a great education for all the students. Students are being challenged and inspired to learn. Teachers are being innovative and using technology to further their lessons. School leadership is visionary, yet rooted in what is going to help the students at the school now."

"I'm a parent of a first grader at Pulaski. His kindergarten teacher last year was amazing. She had all the kids reading and writing by the end of the year. Now our son has another amazing teacher. Ms. McGee treats all students as scholars and has high expectations. She does a terrific job differentiating the needs of each student. She expects more from kids who are able, yet she expects each child to keep pushing the limits. By early April this year - the students had all met the requirements for graduating 1st grade and the kids will have surpassed the spelling requirements 2 years beyond what is expected. WE LOVE IB. Students are learning empathy and how to be inquirers, knowledgeable, thinkers, communicators, principled, open-minded, caring, risk-takers, balanced and reflective. My son is learning critical thinking, inference, multiplication, Spanish, creative writing, science, ecology etc... My son recently did a presentation and was encouraged to use Powerpoint. He also wrote a book about how his family life would be different if he lived in another country. He's becoming a global citizen and a scholar. AND there is a band. AND we walk to school. AND my son loves his class!"

"We have two kids at Pulaski and we are very happy. Their teachers are great. The other parents are engaged. But most important thing is that pur kids are happy and we are confident that they are getting a good education. Plus walking to school sure is better than fighting traffic and we see school friends all over the neighborhood which is fun."

"This school is a fantastic school to work in. I have worked in a lot of schools in CPS and have never felt so supported and encouraged in innovative and rigorous teaching efforts. For those who are unaware of the International Baccalaureate process, Pulaski has only just been accepted to begin the candidacy portion of the IB process. They will have 3 years starting this year (2011-2012) to train the staff and implement the program and will then be evaluated and given official IB status. That is why the IB program is not extremely visible as of yet. Give it a few months of this year and you will see a lot more evidence of IB and the benefits of the program. Hands down, if I had my own children, I would send them here before sending them anywhere else. I have seen first hand how the leadership, teachers and all neighborhood children have created a fantastic learning environment."
