Parent Review 1y ago. Howard Pence Elementary School. Two of my kids have gone to Howard Pence so far, one for half a year of kinder and the other for half a year of kinder, 3rd grade and 4th grade.
Positives: Mr. Daily is a great principal. He treats the kids with respect and disciplines fairly and kindly when necessary. Gilbert-Magana had a positive teaching philosophy for my third grader. I appreciate that breakfast is served in the classroom, as this saves time and stress in the morning. Negatives: Uniforms are an unnecessary expense for some families and a distraction if kids aren't allowed to be comfortable in their own clothes.
As much as bullying is talked about nowadays, I have found that not much is done to address incidents unless the parents make a stink about it. My biggest criticism concerns kindergarten classroom management techniques. Too much emphasis is made on correcting developmentally appropriate behaviors, such as goofing around or chatting too much with their classmates remember these are 5 year olds , which I've observed to have a demoralizing effect on kids.
The color code system also promotes a kind of herd mentality among peers. If you get a green card or better, you're part of a special club. Get yellow or red and you get made fun of.
It's concerning that this method must ultimately be employed by teachers to keep the kids on track or test scores might slip. I ended up pulling my kindergartner from Pence due to unaddressed bullying and a teacher whose classroom management techniques I disagreed with. School should be more than test scores. Park Ave.

Recently, the Department of Homeland Security changed the way it releases migrants into the country. Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel used to review the plans of every migrant family to make sure they had travel arrangements so they could reach sponsors elsewhere in the United States. In October, however, ICE stopped reviewing those plans and instead began releasing migrant families onto the streets of San Ysidro, regardless of whether they had resources or plans to make it to their destinations.
Several nonprofit organizations, such as San Ysidro Health, had to step in to help. In response, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors filed suit against the Trump administration, arguing it should be forced to resume the program and to reimburse the county for the expenses it had incurred while caring for and sheltering migrants in the meantime.
Residents of San Ysidro know her frustration well. The influx of migrants in need of help but nowhere to turn is yet another problem hoisted on the community and over which they have little control.

The San Ysidro border crossing is the busiest international border in the world. More than a century of settlement and development makes San Ysidro a changing, dynamic community with a village atmosphere.
