Some students are not valued as much as others within this school and are not properly supported as much. I literally refuse to allow my child to be ignored and treated indifferently because of their personality, race, and abilities. Despite several attempts to work with my child’s teacher, Assistant Principal, and Principal I was not convinced that they had my child’s best interests in mind. The Assistant Principal blatantly lied about what she said about our child directly to our face. I am truly disappointed and I hope that further investigation is taken on how certain children and parents are handled at the school and in this district. My child has been pulled from this entire district and I don’t have confidence or trust in this current school administration at Creekside. Hopefully, they will improve because most of the entire front office including the Principal and Assistant Principal are new and don't have great elementary experience. The teacher (my child experienced) claims to have over 20 years of experience but lacks a consistent strategy, structure, and communication skills to effectively communicate with students and parents. Learn how to speak to young children who are entry-level and stop treating them as teenagers. They are learning social, emotional, and other foundational skills, therefore; meeting them where they are, supporting and EFFECTIVE communication with their parents is very important at this stage. It has to be a collaborative effort and involves a community that really cares, respects, and values everyone. This is NOT the case at Creekside during the 2023-24 school year. Again, the best of luck in improving your inclusiveness, strategy, structure, and overall learning environment. However, my child's future will not lie in the balance of Creekside's preparedness and alignment on becoming inclusive. This is something that should have already existed and it should also be apparent in the staff and teachers you employ. More diversity and cultural awareness are needed. I hope the more you advertise how much you "value and welcome everyone" that actually becomes a reality and that you also learn how to back those words with actions and proven evidence.

Plainfield East High School has wonderful leadership, compassionate teachers and great school spirit. They offer Dual Credit classes, AP and Honor classes that prepare students for the ACT/SAT and college. 2 of our children are at East currently and love being involved and have never had any issues at the school and find the school very safe and welcoming every day and at Football games etc. From the front office staff to teachers and coaches, when you take time to get to know them, you will find they are very caring, supportive and love their careers working with our students. Students reach out to new students and are very welcoming, caring and kind. There is a wonderful mix of students and new students fit in quickly and make lots of new friends.
