Sunshine Elementary is well below average and this school would benefit from a Principal that truly cares to work with children. My experience goes with having a child who has a learning dissability and behavioral issues. I was hopeless seen the behavior at home and receiving constant calls from the school. I asked for help over one year ago. The staff back then were pushing to get someone to help us out. Still, it took over one year for someone to start evaluating my son. I also did my job and took my son to the neuropsychologist which also took about one year to get in since they are the specialists. In the middle of all of this, I kept getting notices about my child, calls, texts through the app. While I want to know what is going on with my son, I also think that the staff lacks empathy. The staff should be trained to deal with different types of behaviors. It is already exhausting at home and then the school is making a big scene about every little thing that happens. I just asked for comprehension and emphaty. No matter what happens, it doesn't matter who saw or didn't see. It was always my son's fault. While my son also comes home hurt from other kids hitting him but nobody says anything. I guess because they consider him "the problem child," they don't bother to investigate. Ms Peña, the principal, calls me today and tells me my son is suspended for the 2nd time this year because a substitute teacher said she tried taking something away and he smacked the teacher's arm. I reject any bad attitude and behavior, but the lack of understanding here is a joke. He has BEHAVIORAL ISSUES AND A LEARNING DISSABILITY. Your school psychologist diagnosed him. BEHAVIORAL ISSUES: patterns of problematic actions that interfere with a person's ability to function daily and get along with others. This type of behavior is expected but she decided that writing a referral and suspending him will do it. Ms Peña, shame on you!!! Do better! Find good solutions and don't go the easy route. It is such a shame that the kids with special needs are treated this way and don't have the oportunity to grow but instead they just want to get rid of the problem.
