My child has been at this school for only 4months. I kid you not. She’s being bullied by the staff and administration it has gotten so bad the kids in her class has joined in. Kid you not she had to switch her class schedule in January 2023. Which did not help because the only have two teachers for 3rd grade. Oddly they have the kids splitting their time with both teachers. She has been followed around school and the playground. The staff has confirmed that they take pictures of her on their personal while she sit on timeout. They also confirmed that they texted these pictures to other staff members. The problem is I opted out of taking pictures or recording my child. When I called them out on it they said oh next time we won’t do it. No one has apologized or assured us that she is safe.

Such a great school! So many new renovations and so inclusive. The sports and activities are amazing. The teachers are outstanding!
