What is the opinion on student Jordynn Kempf about the teacher’s team

Dr. Ryan Link and his team are exceptional and cultivate a warm and welcoming environment where learning and social development are balanced. There are so many amazing teachers! Mrs. McGinty is exceptional and has a knack for 5th graders that completely changed the trajectory of my childs educational desires. Mrs. Godier, Williamson, Denninghoff, Howard and Koonse are all kind and caring and really connect with the students. Field day, the sock hop and 5th grade graduation celebration were above and beyond and will be remembered by my kiddos forever.

My child is special needs. My child's specific SPED teacher is wonderful and caring. However, the other people on his "team" are dismissive to my child's needs and seem to ignore his IEP. At one particular meeting, a staff member read his accommodations out loud and said "I didn't know that was in there" meaning it wasn't done the entire year. It's infuriating. I've been called over the phone several times to speak to my child directly to "calm them down". I've heard teachers gaslight my child, victim blame my child, and ignore them. My child is bullied; little to nothing has been done about that as well. I wholeheartedly believe that they are being treated this way because they do not have to words to stand up for themselves. When I advocate for my child, my demands are unmet. If I could give this school zero stars, I would. I do not recommend, especially for special needs children.
