Here’s a more professional version of your message while still clearly expressing your concerns:I am extremely concerned and disappointed with the overall experience my children and I have had at EP Todd School. When my daughter first began attending, things seemed to run smoothly; however, after my son enrolled, I began noticing several ongoing issues that have become increasingly frustrating.One of my main concerns is the lack of communication between the school administration, staff, and parents. If my children are having behavioral, academic, or emotional difficulties during the school day, I believe those matters should be communicated directly to me by school staff rather than relayed through my 9-year-old child. Effective parent-teacher communication is essential to supporting students, and unfortunately, that communication has been lacking.Additionally, the school frequently requests financial support through restaurant fundraisers and other events where the school receives a portion of the proceeds. As a parent, I would like more transparency regarding where these funds are being allocated, as I have not seen many noticeable improvements within the school aside from the playground area.Another major concern is the tuition being charged for the Montessori 3K–5K program. I do not understand why EP Todd charges families for these grade levels simply because the Montessori label has been added, while other schools within District 7 offer these same early education grades tuition-free. Kindergarten is considered a foundational educational requirement, and I believe all children should have equal access without additional financial burden placed on parents.I strongly feel the district office should reevaluate the policies, communication practices, and overall structure at EP Todd School to better support both students and families.
