I withdrew my daughter from this school, but while my child still attended Kuhio, she was hit hard with a ball and fell on concrete. I was not called or notified in any way about what happened to her. I came to pick her up from school and saw that she had cuts on her face and body. And all I received was a note from the health room lady (HRL). It said "cleaned up right knee, small cut." Nothing about her face or nose. I called the school to ask what happened and every single person involved claims they had no idea she had cuts all over her. I spoke specifically to the HRL because my child said she told her about her face hurting. I then spoke to the principal at that time, and she told me a completely different story from what the HRL told me. The principal had claimed that the HRL knew about the cuts. But when I spoke to the HRL, she said she had no idea and must not have heard my daughter tell her. So to me, it seems like the principal was trying to cover/lie for her instead of any of them owning up to their mistakes. The principal also said that my child was brought into the health room by a different staff member. So when I spoke to that staff member, she said that she noticed my daughter's forehead and nose being red (the cuts). She didn't let the HRL know about the redness on her face. I'm going to assume because it was noticeable enough for her, so it should be noticeable enough for the HRL. So that brings me back to how did the HRL not notice? If the woman who brought my child in noticed but not the HRL, then to me, it seems like lack of care or concern for not only my child, but other students as well. And not only did she "not notice," but when she went back to her class, her teacher supposedly didn't notice either. How is it possible that none of these people didn't see all of these cuts on her or bother to do a thorough check? And still didn't think to call me about the situation? Especially since it was the FIRST thing I noticed when I picked her up from school. And to only receive a note home with the only concern/comment being about her knee is actually insane. And the principal (at the time) was covering and lying to me about the situation instead of being honest and just owning up to their mistakes and how horribly they handled the situation from the time that it happened until I had to call to find out what was going on.
