While the school does a good job in areas like safety and student support, the policies around family involvement are extremely restrictive and disappointing. Parents and family members are not allowed to attend events such as field day, classroom parties, or even field trips unless they sign up as volunteers and even then, only one parent is permitted.I understand the importance of maintaining a safe environment, but this level of limitation feels excessive and takes away from important family moments. School events are meant to be opportunities for families to engage, support their children, and be part of their experience. Restricting siblings and additional family members from attending makes the environment feel less welcoming and inclusive.This is the first school I’ve encountered with such strict rules regarding family participation, and it significantly impacts the overall sense of community. I hope the administration considers finding a better balance between safety and allowing families to be present and involved in their children’s school life.
