As a parent, I have several concerns regarding the school’s policies and overall environment.One of my biggest concerns is the apparent lack of formal incident reporting. When issues involving students occur, there does not seem to be a consistent process for documenting and communicating incidents to parents, which can leave families feeling uninformed and unsupported.I have also observed that students’ outdoor and physical activity time appears to be limited due to academic performance, homework completion, or classroom comprehension issues. While academics are important, children also benefit greatly from recess and opportunities for physical activity throughout the school day.Additionally, I have noticed security and staff members frequently using their phones while supervising hallways, which raises concerns about student monitoring and safety. At the same time, parents are not permitted to walk their children to class, making attentive supervision by staff even more important.While Ivette Castro has been helpful on certain occasions, I have found interactions with her to be challenging when concerns are raised or differing viewpoints are expressed. Constructive feedback does not always seem to be well received, which can make parents hesitant to advocate for their children.I would like to acknowledge that the principal has generally been communicative, responsive, and willing to follow through on discussions. However, there appears to be a culture among some staff members that feels unprofessional, including gossip and what some families may perceive as discriminatory treatment.I hope these concerns are taken seriously and used as an opportunity to improve transparency, professionalism, student supervision, and parent-school relationships.
