Do not send your child here. Ever since the school switched to the director Ms Jenkins the school has gone down hill. What type of director does not know the parent or the kids names? Or if your child is hurt twice in a week is not aware of the issue so "it must have happened at home?" She is condescendin, rude and extremely unprofessional. When Ms. Gibbs was there you could expect a certain level of professionalism and she greeted each kid at the door and the parents as well. Ms Jenkins was selective with whom she spoke wiht or helped. Another parent mentioned that their child was piunched in the stomach and stuck in the face with a pencil and still no one knew what happened. Take heed. There are other schools more worth your time. where you know leaving your child there meant someone CARED and would watch out for them. Its sad becaue there are some nice and diligent teachers But Ms. Jenkins and Ms Johanna ruin th school's worth.
