Parents need to be aware: this school has serious safety and accountability concerns under the current principal. Earlier this school year, I raised concerns with a kindergarten teacher about behavior between students that began with inappropriate conversations. Despite my warnings, the situation escalated into unwanted touching between students.As a parent, it was extremely concerning to feel that early warnings were not taken seriously when early intervention could have prevented the situation from escalating.I also had serious concerns about privacy. Emails I sent directly to the principal regarding classroom safety and incidents involving my child were later accessed from the principal’s computer and shared with staff members. These communications included information about my child and classroom matters. Parents should be able to communicate concerns with school leadership without worrying that their child’s personal information will be circulated among staff.In addition, several teachers have openly expressed frustration about the relocation from their previous campus, and that tension appears to be affecting the overall school environment. Parents have asked for clear written or physical safety plans, but transparency and communication have been limited.I had high hopes for the merger between VCS and MIHAFA and truly believed it would be a positive change for the community. Unfortunately, my experience this year has been deeply disappointing. My hope is that leadership begins prioritizing student safety, privacy, accountability, and stronger communication with families.
