I am writing to share my personal experience as a parent with several serious concerns regarding my child’s safety and well being at this school. My intention is not to attack any individual, but to ensure that all students receive the safe, respectful, and supportive environment they deserve.Over the years, my child has repeatedly reported incidents of bullying that, in my view, were not adequately addressed. Despite bringing these issues to staff members, I have seen little improvement in how these situations are handled.I have also experienced communication challenges with school leadership. In my opinion, there has not been consistent follow through when I have reported issues involving my child. This has left me feeling that some concerns are minimized or not taken seriously.One of the most alarming incidents involved my child being unaccounted for at dismissal. Staff were unable to explain who picked her up, and I later learned she had been left unattended with two other children while some staff were behind the building. As a parent, this was extremely distressing and raised major safety concerns.Additionally, my child has experienced physical injuries at school including a sprained ankle and having her hair cut by another student. While I understand schools cannot prevent every incident, I believe more active supervision and communication could have prevented or reduced the harm.I am sharing this review in the hope that the school will take a closer look at its supervision practices, communication systems, and bullying response protocols. Every child deserves a safe learning environment, and every parent deserves transparency and confidence in the people responsible for their child each day.I truly hope that improvements can be made so families feel supported and students are protected.
