Sunflower Plan in SomerBrook by Summit Homes

i am a current student at south valley middle school and im just here to say that i would not recommend this school at all, all though they do care about students mental health a little all they do a show one video about it throughout the whole school year. In my first year at svms i was bullied a lot and i know the teachers heard and saw it because they were looking and listening they didnt do anything about it. The staff lies to you, they will send your parents emaila calling them, they would tell you “its a safe space, everything will stay in this room” but then later call your parents getting you in trouble, the day after that they will act like your best friend like nothing happened. They will get you in trouble for recording your own safety and youll get ISS for it, they said “the teacher was there you didnt need to record” so they called the parents but the teacher didnt see anything, i was right next to what happened and another kid got in trouble for watching and he was blamed for it when it wasent him, so the teachers/bus driver no they dont see everything because they dont have eyes on the back of their head, you dont let us explain what really happened we still get in trouble no matter. The teacher’s favorite student so if you get in a argument with them for a fight, the teacher will pick their side no matter what you say. They are kicking my friend out of the school because one of her houses is in raytown and another is in the school district but they still kicked her out, when she cleared her locker and went to go tell her teacher a kid was making fun of her for crying that she got kicked out, the teacher didnt do anything about it and did not care whatsoever. The teachers wont care about what you say, they always think their right even if they arent, they wont let you explain your answer and if you amswer like “Hey your not supposed to be doing that” and the students gives them a reason why they should that student will get in trouble for having an ‘attitude’ and answeing a question of what their doing, that is what happened.

My son recently got a concussion out on the playground. He told kids to stop pushing him on the saucer swing and they continued. When I asked the principal, Michelle Swierski, if she interviewed the other students to verify his story she replied, I watched the video I don't need to interview anyone. She also said it wasn't deliberate. I then replied, if he asked them to stop and they continued, then it is deliberate. Had no accurate information on how the equipment was supposed to be used. Where were the teachers on duty when my son was hangin on for deal life being pushed by 2-4 students? How in world is this lady the leader of this school any school?! Couldn't get basic answers from her. My son has left school early everyday complaining about headaches. Again, How is Michelle Swierski the principal with this type of leadership. I can only imagine how many other basic questions were not answered. Not this parent. I'm gonna call, post, inform until I feel satisfactory disciplinary action has been taken. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN THE LEADERSHIP AT WARREN HILLS!!!!

This school claims to be about respect but all they’re really about is appearance. They don’t discourage bullying at all their way of dealing with it is telling your bully that you told on them and then maybe giving them a small punishment like a day of ISS. They don’t care if your kid learns or doesn’t they just want you the parent to think that they do. I can honestly say that lps53’s lack of care resulted in me having horrible depression and social anxiety. If you care about your children you will keep them far away from this school and the other schools associated with them.
