This school is the worst thing that could ever happen to me!!!!!!

My child has been at this school for 2 weeks. Today which is the last day for Winter Break is the day they showed me they could care less about my child. Seems like everyone was anxious to get out of the school because once learning that they left my daughter to fend for herself I called and no one was answering. EVERY SINGLE DAY I drop off and pick up my child from school. The students got out of school early which isn't posted on the school calendar. As I am driving up to the school to pick my child up from what I think is a normal let out time I look over and see my baby standing at the corner by herself looking around. All the kids had already walked home. She didn't tell me until later that she went back into the school to find help only for an office assistant to come out and tell her to go find a family member that attends another school about 5 blocks away and possibly walk with him. So not knowing where my child is going because she is brand new to the area she proceeded to walk and she tells me "Mom, every morning you always say You're beautiful, You're smart, You can do it. So as I was walking to find my way home I was scared but I kept saying You can do it You can do it." That broke my heart because she is so dear to my heart that these people just left my baby out there like that knowing its crazy people in this sick world. WHY would a teacher do that? I am sure the woman from the office wouldn't want someone to do that to her child. The school could have easily contacted me via cell. My child even has a cellphone but it was dead but after charged the office would have had access to a few people that could have picked up my child. On top of that her cousin attends this school. Could have easily looked up their parents info and contacted the same home. Upon enrolling her there was attitude from the office for whatever reason. I had never even seen these people before but they come off so upset and angry. We had no problems when she attended her school on the north side where she came from. I had problems then but this is just beyond overboard. I will see you all first thing in the morning when winter break is over to speak to the principal.

This school (family) has beyond exceeded all expectations!!! To keep this testament orderly; My husband and I are extremely invested in education and needed to search for a school upon moving after semester had already began. We’re so thankful this partnership of; CompassionProfessionalismInnovation Progressiveness and much more! You’ll feel the seriousness of the students and the love of the staff before you walk through the doors!!!

Pleasantly surprised by Bloom Trail High School. My daughter is a high honor roll, Pre AP and AP student who has participated in band, ceramics and Drivers Ed. Trail was not in my choices of High Schools for my child, respectfully but I have no regrets in being a part of the family of parents, students, faculty, teachers and administrators at this school and in this district. That is what it is, a family. My daughter is well adjusted and excelling. She is well on her way to becoming a successful woman, with her societal and career goals firmly in sight. I am recommending this school and also encouraging vital parent participation and collaboration with the school, teachers, coaches, leaders and village as we raise successful and healthy adults, so essential to our communities. The diversity is as balanced as the focus on graduating young adults who are more than ready for the world. Good job. Keep up the good work, everyone. This Mom truly appreciates it. I was once a doubter and skeptic as a picky, discerning parent but now Trail and District 206 have my lifelong support and endearment. Go, Class of 2024 and all the rest! Strive for excellence always and it will be your reality. Peace.
