Well, where shall i start? First week into school and we were harassed by the security for trying to enter the walk in gate located on the back side of the school. we could see children who walk to school entering this gate. So, I dropped my son off, watched him go into the gate where he was turned around by the security guard and sent back out the gate to walk all the way around the school to the front gate. Ok, fine we let that go, but he spent the rest of that year dodging this particular security guard because he kept doing and saying things pointed at embarrassing my son. we got through that year, only to be faced with a random dog sniffing check in one of his classrooms. his bag was marked as needing to be checked. Instead of received the required by law phone call right after the interview with the police I was notified by my son when I picked him up from school. I went straight back to the school to find there was no authority personnel to speak with. So I showed up unannounced the next day at school and asked to see the principal. I was referred to the vice principal, who proceeded to try and use reverse psychology to make it be my son's problem that we were not properly informed about this issue. He lied to us about the fact that there wasn't 2 school staff personnel being present during the search, said he had to check, but the thinks the police are hired by the school to do these searches. I brought the documentation showing the vice principal where they did not follow they're own procedure. He proceeded to tell me that since nothing happened during the interview there was no need to involve the parent. Be prepared to be on your guard if you go to this school.

This school does not provide a welcoming environment. Bullying is not addressed well. Teachers are not supported.
