Bad staff and administration. Always treating the people who can't defend them selfs with disrespect.

We moved to Larkspur in 2020, during Covid. Both my daughter, 4th grade, and son 2nd grade, attended virtual learning. The experience with virtual learning was a positive one. Once in person learning resumed, my son (entering 3rd grade) struggled with social anxiety and depression from an increased use of devices. There was no initiative to help him, or other kids, who might have been struggling as well. Instead, they matched us up with a 504 coordinator, which may have caused even more exclusion and a belief that he was “different” and in his words, “weak”. There was a safety incident on the swings, where he broke his thumb and wasn’t even taken to the nurse. He came home with a broken, swollen thumb. When speaking with the AS, I was told that his teacher asked him if he was okay and he said “yes”. He was 10 years old!! We were also called to the school one time because he was struggling in math and had suicidal ideation. The counselor sent us a bunch of links and that was about it. They once had dismissal in a thunderstorm and he was standing, soaking wet on the corner when I arrived for him. His last year, I came in to his classroom and found that he had incomplete projects and his handwriting hadn’t improved. When I reached out, they gave me the run around and suggested Kumon. I don’t want another kid to have this elementary experience. Please try for open enrollment at another school.

My son was going to DMS , moving from different school district. The transition was smooth . The faculty members were friendly and knowledgeable . The lab and infrastructure is top notch.
