While the teachers say they want to work with you and do respond in a somewhat timely manner, if you find out your child is struggling the teacher he had said she was going to compile a list for us to work on and then told my son in class to work on one subject at a time instead of sending everything home so we can work on different subjects. My son has reported that their lunches are always cold and as a result taste like it’s been sitting out for a long time. They basically get no warm lunches so a lot of food gets thrown out. During recess the yard aides don’t let the kids relax in the shade if it’s hot out. They expect kids to play the whole time even during triple digit weather! If you’re late picking up your child they make them wait outside the office, even during bad/hot weather. Kids try to wait in the office because it’s hot and the office people make them go back outside in the heat, even if the children are completely quiet. Their communication overall is extremely delayed so you will need to call the office to get any information otherwise they send out information the night before or after the fact. Last minute the principal emailed that the school received funds to send all kids in 2 months for “a week” which is for 3 days of the week and the number of students attending depends on how many chaperones can go. What about teachers? How can you get funding to take all students but then give such a limited window to complete the forms, have chaperones apply (process is 2 month process), and its first come process so if not enough chaperones not all students can go. They give absolutely no time for parents to make arrangements or give consideration for all kids to make it to Camp Keep.
