In response to the recent post, I feel bad that your child has been the victim of bullying. However, I have noticed that bullying is snuffed out very quickly. The only time it goes on is when students to not report it. We don't cater to the minorities. The majority of the student population is minority, possibly as high as 86%. We see no color at our school. Everyone is a human being that deserves respect. As far as field trips, that is the policy of the Des Moines Public School District. We get "1" field trip a year. The school does not make that decision. Submitted by staff.
