I'm counting down the days until this year is over. On the 3rd day of school the kids were still meeting in the gym, parents walked them in. My son was crying, the teacher looking at my and firmly said "leave". She then turned around and told my son, and I quote, to "sit down and be quiet". After speaking to the superintendent and head of school all they did was make up excuses for her behavior, never once did my son or I get an apology from the teacher. Outside time is 20 minutes if at all. And in the winter they can't bring boots or snow pants and play in the snow. "If" they go outside it's just in the parking lot and it's viewed as "a special treat". The reason is because they have to much curriculum to get through and in the winter I'm assuming they don't want to deal with the hassel. Oh and if your child can't sit still for 5 hours straight you'll be hearing about it. They expect the child to conform to them, they don't care about conforming for the child, they are expected to be robots. They have 4 levels for behavior. Red, yellow, green and blue. Blue is for fabulous. If your child doesn't get to blue expect them to come home in tears because 'they aren't fabulous' depsite making the best efforts that they can. We wonder why kids these days are self conscious. I emailed the teacher to ask why was needed in order to get to blue so I could help coach my son, the response was " they need to go over and above to meet my expectations". The recommended foods are basically whatever is in your junk food isle and fruits and veggies are listed last uner "other". So I'd plan on packing lunch daily if you'd like to keep your child healthy. Please spare your child from this place if you can afford it.

Hey, this school is great, the teachers are excepting, and evryone tries their hardest to make kids comfortable, people complaining just are mad that they get bad grades
