I had a child going to that school, and the staff there are very unprofessional.
My child was in their after school programs and a staff member didn’t follow any of the safety procedure to insure the safety of my child.
The program is designed to always inform parents of changes of locations of your children in case of an emergency.
I came to the school to pick up my daughter and couldn’t locate my child because the staff member had taken my child somewhere without follow the proper safety procedures.
They staff member was supposed to leave a note in the classroom, on the door, in the office or with another teacher near bye.
I needed to get my child for an appointment we had to attend and did not have any idea where my child was located at.
If this would have been an emergency and I needed to get my child and be somewhere this could have been a huge problem.
This is not a professional way of providing the proper safety for the children and the parents.
One of the teacher at the school informed me that this way not a big deal and I just needed to calm down and just walk around the school and search for my child.
This is very unprofessional way to deal with a serious safety issue for the children and the parents.
As a parent I should not have to search the school to find out if my child is safe or where my child is located at.
This is a real safety concern that parent should not have when leaving your children in the care of this school.
If this school feels that this is not a serious problem, with staff not following all the safety procedures then this place needs to be put under investigation from the school board.
As a parent you need to really check into this school’s history and staff training to see if this is a safe place to send your children.
If the staff at the school can not follow the safety procedures then that staff member should be fired for endangering the safety of the children and worrying parents where their children will be located at when trying to find them.
I wonder what other safety issues that this school is not following.
This school really needs to be investigated by the school district officials.
I also feel that this school’s over working the teachers.
The school does not give the teacher the proper time to create and update the lesson plans.
The school does not give the teachers the proper support to do their job effectively, this in turn over working then to the point of the teachers will start making critical mistakes.
These mistakes can greatly affect the learning for the students.
Your child could be in a classroom with an over worked teacher that has lost their love for their job and not give the student the care and understanding that the child needs.
It seems the principle Susan is not properly supporting the teachers there and breeds a negative atmosphere which could form bad relations with the staff.
This is not just my opinion this is information that I received from a teacher working there.
The teacher is constantly complaining about losing their prep time to get their school work ready for the students over crowded classrooms.
The teachers are forced to work extra long hours away from their families work late into the evening and even the weekends just to keep up with the demand that is put on them.
Teachers have complained about not having the schools supplies to do their jobs having to pay out of their own pockets just to get their jobs done.
I have heard from a teachers that it has become a competition to see who can have the class with the higher grades and passing kids.
The teachers there are constantly fearing they will lose their jobs if they do not pass enough student and the grades are not high enough.
I have been told from a teacher there that the principle is also having teachers do her job for certain things,
These things are what makes a teacher not effective at their job, this type of stress can break their resolve to do a good job.
This principle “Susan” seems to have her favorite teachers there and if you are not on her list you, meaning the other teachers you get the short end of the stick.
This type of atmosphere is not what you want your child to be in for their learning.
I heard from a teacher at this school about how unhappy they are and how they feel they are not respected by the principle.
This can build for resentful staff members and that will lead to teacher that do not do a good job for the student.
This could in turn lead to teachers feeling like they have to just give student higher grades out of fear of the principle.
You have teachers there stealing work and credit from other teachers just to make them look better than the others to protect their jobs.
This is supposed to be a safe haven for our children to grow and learn not a competition to see who can out do the other just to stay in the principles good grace and keep their job.
If you could hear the horror stories from the teachers there, and the stress they are under at this school, there would be no way you would ever drop off your child there.
I am so glad my child is no longer at this, and I use the term loosely “school”.
