My child tripped, fell, and broke a bone in class. My child informed the on duty teacher of their symptoms, cause, and the on duty teacher placed a call to the nurse. My child was in extreme pain, had numbness, and could not move the effected area. My child was informed by the on duty teacher to head to the nurse. My child was not offered a wheelchair or even an adult to accompany them.It appears there is low standard of providing students with basic accommodations when there is a serious injury or appears to have symptoms of one. At minimum if a student informs a staff member who may or may not be trained in such areas should have at least been informed by the medical staff on what to do and what process to follow. I doubt the medical staff would just brush that off, right??In the event, if a future injury were to unfold (I hope not) that there would be guidelines established on how to proceed. What if my child was further injured on their way to the nurse, and could not get the medical attention needed because they were left to fend for themselves on school grounds? I will update my post once I hear back from the proper officials. **Disclosure** My child’s injury was confirmed with an FNP the same day, and a follow up with an Orthopaedist has been arranged. These are my own personal statements and observations, and are not intended to defame the reputation of MPS in any such manner.

This school is pathetic, it is run by Mormons for Mormons by Mormons. Its a true disgusting depiction of a Mesa Public School. They tell you what you want to hear for the IB program. My daughter could have gone to a better school with AP classes but chose Westwood which has been an unpleasant experience. The Counselors have no idea what they are doing and never have answers. The Athletic Director is related to many of the coaches. The coaches show complete favoritism to student athletes that go to their ward.

This school has gone down since principal Starky retired. They absolutely nothing regarding bullying and fighting. How is it possible that a student that has gotten in 4 fights is still attending school. Do our children need to be unalived for the staff to do something about it. I will be taking this to the news and writing the governor, it’s unacceptable the incompetence of all the staff at Whittier.
