My experience with this school and the district has been extremely disappointing. I previously contacted the district and filed complaints about how the vice principal treated my daughter, but I did not feel that my concerns were taken seriously or properly addressed.The school handled the situation very poorly. My daughter became so emotionally distressed that she cried and begged not to return to the school. As a parent, it was heartbreaking to see how deeply this experience affected her.During the summer, rumors about my daughters also began circulating among people connected to the school community. I find this completely unacceptable. A private situation involving children should never become gossip or spread throughout a school community. I am deeply concerned about how information regarding my family may have gotten out, and I believe my daughters’ privacy should have been protected.I later informed the school that I would be withdrawing my daughters. Even after I communicated this, the school continued calling about their absences and said they wanted to send someone to my home to check whether my children were okay. My daughters are safe and properly cared for, and I had already explained that I was removing them from the school.I understand that schools have attendance and student-safety responsibilities, but parents and children should also be heard and treated respectfully. Instead of addressing my original concerns regarding the principal, I felt ignored and judged.Based on my family’s experience, I do not believe the school or district handled this situation with the care, confidentiality, fairness, or professionalism that children and their families deserve.
