Our experience with this school was horrendous. I do not believe they are truly equipped to manage/teach children who require an intervention specialist. Maria Allen (Intervention Specialist) and Tiffany Genton (Principal) were not easy to work with. They communicated with me up until I started catching them in lies and calling them out about the lies. My son was bullied, and while I often received phone calls when he was misbehaving, I never received a phone call when my son was hurt or bullied. Both Maria and Tiffany lied about not knowing my son was bullied, Maria did so during a group meeting. When I informed everyone in the meeting she blatantly lied when she said she had no idea about the bullying, she became visibly embarrassed. I reminded her of the incident I brought to her attention when my son was shoved down in the hallway and then subsequently had another kids foot on his chest. During that meeting, I also reminded her that she stated she didn't tell me about that incident because she handled it. That is still never okay. I should have been notified. Neither his father nor myself were notified. I typically heard about when my son was misbehaving but never when he was bullied. The both of them lied on my child, as well. There was an incident where Tiffany stated my son pulled the chair out from under another student. An adult from my family inquired with my son AND the other student about what happened. The other student stated that he feel out of his chair and that my child wasn't near him when it happened. Tiffany told my son's father about an incident on the playground, then told me a completely different story about the same incident. I didn't trust them and I still don't. I never thought I could have the capacity to hate anyone, but alas. If your child requires an intervention specialist, I strongly suggest looking for a different school. That classroom was consistently disorderly, Maria did not have a good handle on it. I kept paper trails of lies, when I mentioned that, written communication with me became free and far between. My son used to cry himself to sleep at night knowing he had to go to school the next day. It broke my heart. He missed a lot of school because of bullying. I am so happy we found a different school. I would NEVER send a child there as long as those two are still in the building. Very unprofessional, rude, condescending liars.
