My first experience was with the nurse. Her bedside manner was trash. Only to hear from other staff, many people have the same experience. My second experience was with the assist principle of the magnet program. Whom is also the 504 coordinator. In the years I've dealt with my childs 504 plan, my experience with him, genuinely made me feel like he cared less about my daughter medical conditions and her needs. So now I am preparing to have a discussion with my child about removing herself from the program because the nursing program (magnet school) she's in, doesn't care to accommodate her medical (of allllllll the things) situation. I learned today that the 504 is not in place to assist my daughter in avoiding a seizure, they only care if she has a seizure because, THEN it affects them.

I am sorry to say this, but I did not enjoy this school. Stupid rules are the least of your worries. I have been bullied several times by children who do not want me to succeed. The teachers were fine, but only people my race actually cared. I was hit, yelled at, and really few higher ups stood up for me. I was squeezed to death by how much anxiety I had just by one of the bullies had came up to me. Thank god though with the help of teachers, I passed with honors on my staar test and am now at connally where I am getting straight A's. Thank you to the people that cared, but for now, many of the people there are going to make it hell.

From the Teachers to the Administration and Staff, Rhodes Elementary has been a wonderful experience thus far. My daughter has attended Rhodes since Kinder and she is now in 2nd Grade. We have had to over come many hurdles as my daughter was diagnosed with challenges that have not proven easy to tackle. They have stood strong and confident beside us as we've began to walk this newly unlaid and uncertain path we are on. All our combined efforts together are helping to ensure my daughter excels, succeeds, grows and continues to love school everyday. Thank you for that. There are paths no parents and children should have to walk alone.
