Chapman Elementary School

Our student was a third generation Catholic School student. This was the worst catholic school educational experience I have ever experienced. Parent drama being shoved into the school with no mitigation. School Leadership plays favorites and allows certain families and parents to drag inappropriate behavior and drama into school when they should be mitigating the source immediately regardless of which parent is driving the drama. Notre Dame is loosing touch with some of the catholic faith based curriculum and felt more like a public school environment due to certain favorites being allowed to haul their distracting drama and cliquey behavior onto campus. It was very hard for many of the parents to get involved and engage due to the issues above. The Catholic Educational system recognizes the primacy of parents as the first educators of their children. Notre Dame needs to be more committed to working alongside them, and deeply incorporating families into the life of the school. This cannot happen until the disruptive culture spoken about above is mitigated.
