First of all, please be aware that this school will not inform you if there is a vision/hearing screening done. They allow the Lions Club to screen the kids, I have no idea if they're medically certified to complete any screenings on children. They will not tell you if a screening is coming up or when the screening is completed. They stated it is legal for the school to NOT tell parents of any vision/hearings screenings done. So they are able to screen your child without even notifying you prior or even after a screening is completed. THEY WILL NOT TELL YOU! I only found out about the screenings after I received a letter about their "referral" to see a doctor, but they just completed their annual check up and their vision/hearing with their pediatrician and they passed it both. Second, they will not tell you if your child goes to the health room. You actually have to put in a request to ask the health nurse to call you if your child goes to the health room. I asked why aren't parents notified if their child goes to the health room, she said it's not required to notify parents. Why is this not an automatic notice that whenever a child goes to the health room that it is important for their parent to be notified? Why do I have to request for the nurse to call me when my child goes to the health room?Third, when asked about why my kindergarten, 5 years old, came home with a bruise on his face, why wasn't I notified about what happened and how it happened. I was told he "fell of the swings" if he did, why wasn't I notified that he fell and it left a bruise. I asked if he was at a least seen by a nurse, I was told "he didn't want to go to the nurse" I'm sorry, a 5 year old don't know what they like or don't like, the nurse should've at least check on him, but they failed to do that. When I reached out to the superintendent, she stated, "it is the child's responsibility to report the issue" I then followed up with how is my 5 year old responsible to tell anyone about the issue when in fact he did and I was never notified about what happened, until I had to ask what happened to him. Fourth, this school has no motivation to do better overall. For example, my second grader, one of her spelling words that were "difficult" was the word our. My 4th grader stated that his teacher told his class poetry was too hard so he wasn't going to teach it. It's so horrible that I have to pull them out in the middle of the school year.
