If the kindergarten misbehaves, the school will make up false claims and contact dyfs. The school checked my son's butt without parental permission and said there was a hand print. Dyfs came that night and right after they said that I took a picture of his butt and there was nothing there. (Evidence) They also accused my son’s father of possibly substance abuse. If the school was so concerned, why let him inside the building in a classroom with other kids, and why let him leave with my child. Why wouldn’t they stop him to say that we can’t let you leave with the child. Or call the cops? there is a cop at the school. so contradicting are they saying that they endanger the lives of the kids by letting someone in building that they believe was under the influence? plain lies. We have proof that they let him inside the building that day. Recording. My kid does NOT misbehave at home, and he just started to misbehave after the winter break at school only. Stay away from this public school.
