Post pandemic, the school does not provide a welcoming environment to parents. Some teachers seem more concerned with pushing their personal agendas than with teaching the curriculum.Communication is very, very poor. (Announcements of events often come home on the day of the event or sometimes after it is over.) Emails, letters, and phone calls to some teachers do not get answered (or returned.)While there are a few caring and kind teachers who devote their life and time to the education of the children, unfortunately they are severely outnumbered. (We have experienced a parent-teacher conference held by a teacher’s aid. The teacher walked into the session, declared she did not know our child (who had been in her class for several months at that point), and then left again. District transportation is incredibly unreliable. Bus drivers frequently change routes. Pick-up and drop-off times also change (without any notice.) Buses break down regularly. Phones do not get answered after dismissal, so when a bus breaks down (unless a child has access to their own phone), parents are left wondering where their children are (sometimes for hours.) There is a lot that needs improvement and the area has an amazing community of people willing to contribute. Unfortunately, those in the position to make decisions do not appear to welcome change, contributions or community/parental involvement.
