Last year, our eldest daughter, then in 4th grade, experienced multiple incidents of bullying. Despite bringing these issues to the school’s attention, we were met with what appeared to be inaction. However, we remained persistent—sending numerous emails and making repeated phone calls—until appropriate disciplinary measures were finally taken. Ultimately, the student responsible was suspended from both school and bus transportation.Unfortunately, it is deeply concerning that only three days into the new school year, we are facing a similar situation—this time involving our younger daughter, who is in Kindergarten. On the same day, she was slapped twice by another student. No one from the school contacted us about the incident, which is unacceptable.It is evident that there is a significant lack of adequate supervision, likely due to understaffing and overcrowding. This creates an unsafe environment for all students.We have already brought this matter to the principal’s attention and are currently awaiting a response. Should the school fail to address this issue appropriately and in a timely manner, we will escalate it by filing a formal complaint with both the school administration and the school board. Legal action will follow if necessary.We are fully prepared to pursue every available legal avenue to ensure the safety and well-being of our children and to hold accountable those who are responsible for protecting them. Student safety is not negotiable.
