I recently had the privilege of spending time with a group of young ladies who were attending the Alabama HOSA State Leadership Conference, and I can honestly say they left a lasting impression on me.I work with many student groups throughout the year, and this group truly stood out. These young women represented their schools with exceptional professionalism, respect, and maturity. They were polite, organized, and carried themselves with confidence and grace. The way they interacted with each other and with adults reflected strong character and genuine leadership.Just as importantly, this kind of behavior does not happen by accident. It is clearly a reflection of the care, guidance, and high standards set by their teachers and chaperones. The investment their leaders have made in them is evident in how they conduct themselves — not just as students, but as young women of integrity.It was an honor to serve this group. Their schools and leaders should be incredibly proud.

I missed my sons award show because no teacher would respond through parent square to tell me he was receiving an award very sad about this.

My child currently goes to Clay Elementary and we have had a lot of concerns with my child’s safety and overall lack of communication from the school as a whole. There are no real security measures in place protecting the kids from anyone being able to easily enter the front entrance of the school. All main foot traffic, the gym, and cafeteria is housed in the main building while the primary building is in a separate building; requiring all of the youngest children of the school to exit and enter through several doors and walk the furthest to make it to and from their classrooms. Substitute bus drivers come and go without any notice. There is no defined or established route of communication and some information is only shared via certain routes. I have to constantly monitor the school fb page, the PTA fb page, my teacher’s app, my email, my child’s paper communication folders, and my phone voice messaging to piece together everything in hopes I won’t miss events, dress up days, field trips, fund raisers.. etc. I have expressed my concerns and frustrations with lack of communication without response or follow up from the administration. I am considering several life changing options to be able to place my child in another school as soon as possible.
