I feel my child is sometimes singled out....I hear more negatives tham positives. Im out of the loop with info on services available through the Wetherbee. I hear there's many free programs available but I have no knowledge of anything. I can't afford much and I have absolutely no transportation. My resources are extremely limited. I'd love nothing more than for my child to feel included in something more than just the normal school day.

the middle schoolers use the K-2 bathrooms during lunch, and write explicit words on the stalls. in the 3 years i went there, the janotors did nothing about it. the boys sexually harrased the girls, and the 2 hours of ST math i had to do was hell.

I have two very different children attending Frost. One is a high-performing honors/GATE student involved in multiple extracurriculars. The other has a specialized education plan/accommodations and is in the standard common core classes. First, I love the principal here! He is so fun, patient, and positive with the students. He knows their names and makes an effort to say hello. He shows up to the performances, awards, and ceremonies and doesn't lose his energy even after standing there shaking hands and taking photos for HOURS. There was a lockdown this year which was very unusual for the school and the parents were obviously distressed. He held a Zoom meeting and answered all questions- even the aggressive ones- with nothing but patience. I guess I thought he was a softie given his temperament with the kids, but this is when I saw how effective and knowledgable he is. I felt reassured that my kids are in good hands.The music program is incredible. Ms. Curtis and Mr. Rodriguez are next-level committed and dedicated. I don't know when they sleep. They are also a wonderful combination of kind but firm. They get the kids motivated, in order, and learning. It's amazing to watch. Both of my students take music classes. They have not only become better within their personal abilities, they've learned to work as a team, cooperation skills, and they've learned a lot about dedication and hard work. It has helped them immensely as students and people.I thought my child in honors classes would have most of the "great" teachers but this has absolutely not been the case. With the exception of one who was just ok, they've all been exemplary. I read another review about Ms. Melville, but this was not our experience with her. Ms. Melville is hilarious! She manages students and the classroom with humor and levity, which may be different for some parents/students. My child had her for honors health and science and became even more self-driven than usual. She expects this of the kids, and again, this can be an adjustment. I'm a little much when it comes to worrying about my student with special needs, but the teachers, counselors, and social worker have all stayed in touch with me as often as I've needed (a lot). There are many processes and procedures for accommodations planning, and I don't understand most of them, but they've been very good about responding and explaining. I do plan to ask for an update to the plan and will see how that goes. Thank you, Frost!
