Silver Wing Elementary School

I love this school, I went to this school and is amazing.Staff are nice, teachers are there for students education.

Honestly this school is a joke, my daughter has been attending this school for about 5 weeks now, she started in the 1st grade and unfortunately she became victim of bullying not once was I informed that these incidents where happening, one thing is for the teacher or school to not be aware of it, but once I spoke with the teacher about it she acknowledged that she was aware of what was going on and even coincided with my daughters story. The communication from the school part is lacking. The problem was never resolved even after me speaking with both the teacher and the principal. The bullying escalated quickly instead of one bully she now has 5 and everyday its something new that was done to her. Up to this date nothing has been resolved and my daughter now cries to go to school and it has affected her well being overall. I went to the district and they as well gave me the run around. So I opted out pulling her from that district overall. It is upsetting that they have tolerance for bullying and they way this situation was handled. It seems for them, that it is easier to ignore the existence of the problem completely ot turn around and point the finger on your child. I can tell you that I am not the only parent whose kid has been a victim of bullying at this school, the whole time I've been dealing with this situation and going back and forth to the office I have seen many other parents not be happy as well in regards to the way this situation was being handled. The principal is hardly ever available to speak with you directly, everything is handled through email and the communication is beyond lacking. Can't believe that kids are having to go through these types of situations at such a young age and the school having tolerance for it, when it is stated that they have zero tolerance for it.

As a parent I am deeply concerned with what has come to light at Sunset Elementary The school was found to have a Type A violation which is the most serious kind meaning it posed an immediate health and safety risk to students This is not a minor issue Type A violations are issued when a child’s health safety or personal rights are in direct dangerWhat makes this worse is that the district covered this up for eight months without telling families The violation came from an incident so serious that law enforcement and forensic evidence were involved A child deserves to be safe at school and families deserve transparency right away not delayed communication that leaves us wondering if there were other victims or risksThe district has tried to frame this under their “safe campus” policy but keeping parents out of schools while failing to keep children safe inside is unacceptable Parents are the first line of defense for their kids and when schools minimize or cover up violations of this magnitude they break our trustSunset Elementary and the district must do better We expect immediate transparency accountability for those who failed to notify families and real changes to policies so that something like this never happens again Our children’s safety should never come second to protecting reputations

I am very happy either way the experience I had with this school, they helped my son who has autism a lot. All the staff that worked with him were very kind and patient and I am grateful for that. However it was a bitter sweet moment when I was told he had to be transferred to a different school based on his IEP. It’s sad to have to leave but for the short period that he was here I am grateful thank you the team of teachers and specialist that worked with my son.

My child is currently attending this school, I can’t tell you how this school has been disappointment after disappointment since the first day of school this summer. The first day of school we had no idea what to expect , principal never sent out any messages days prior to school starting. First day of school lacked excitement towards students returning from staff. My child was being targeted by lunch staff and getting singled out day after day to the point where she got out of school and told me she was sat by herself during lunch again (mind you this was day 4 consecutively) while all her classmates sat together and she had no idea why that happened..if my child is getting separated constantly there should have been a phone call or some sort of communication from school… never received it. I found out through my child. I requested to sit in on a lunch and I was denied that. The principal said she wanted an opportunity to see what was happening before we took that step, I allowed her to do her job… as she did get to the bottom of it on my 3rd interaction with her about the same issue when I threatened to go to the district office she finally thought of the brilliant idea to talk to staff and let my child be when it comes to eating. Apparently staff was separating her and forcing her to eat because she was distracted while sitting with classmates, mind you that was never a concern of mine so staff took it upon themselves to make that decision about my child without consulting me about it. My child dreads going to school…teacher has low moral no excitement. Currently I’m disappointed in the school because I was just told there will be no winter performance as far right now … as a parent with a child who is just starting out their school journey we look forward to these events. Oh one last thing, I’ve been to many school where I see staff interact and mingle with parents..this school is totally opposite you don’t see one staff member out until the bells rings..they don’t make an effort to engage with parents when parents are present on school grounds. We have yet to hear of any volunteer opportunities … the walls in the hallway were student work is usually displayed are bare. I just feel staff could make school more inviting … if you were to ask me if I recommend this school…ABSOLUTELY NOT ENROLL YOUR CHILD ELSEWHERE.
