Garfield Elementary School

I am a parent, I am so upset with my son first year of big boy school. My son is autistic and this year was the worse school year! He did not receive proper therapy that is stated in his IEP, wasn’t notified about this til the middle almost end of school year. I never spoke with the head person of special education, he never responding back to me. I also asked about a promotion for pre-K 3 they stated his last day is this Wednesday because pre-K 4 is having a promotion Thursday and it’s nowhere for him to go in the school! Like I was looking forward to atleast a ceremony like every other school did for my son but no it’s nothing. I’m hurt and upset and he will not be returning next year!

Turner Staff Released My Children To A Stranger! They did not verify the person at all ...THEY FAILED TO ASK FOR ID,!!! THEY DID NOT CONTACT ME TO CONFIRM IF THIS STRANGER WAS OKAY TO PICK UP MY CHILDREN !!! This person literally told the school my kids name && the staff went to get my children Gave the stranger my kids && watched them drive away.. MY CHILDREN PAID THE ULTIMATE PRICEEEE !!!!!! because this school are ready to push our children out the door everyday ! SOO BAD they didn't feel like looking at my kids paperwork to check and see who name is listed.... NO CALL ..NO CARE AT ALL

This school is just basic. The principal in this school needs to get on her job. Last year, 2015-16 school year, was my daughter first time attending this school. My thoughts were that once she got accepted they were going to give you an open house where you could meet the teacher and learn more about the school and know which day was the first day. Nope, I was all wrong! I had to hound them down and call the cooperate office just to get a call back. Once I got a call back they told me that there was no open house and if I wanted to I could come and meet the teacher. I ended up going and really liked her teacher. During the school year I realized that when a teacher was out for a day they did not replace the lost teacher so it was just one teacher in the classroom with twenty five 4 year olds. Shame on the principle!!!!Also, trying to talk to the principle was like trying to meet with the president of USA. The receptionist would always say she's busy or she's in a meeting. How many meetings could you possibly have? She just seem like she didn't want to be bothered. I felt like the administrative staff judged and grouped us in a stereotypical category, like we were all ghetto and was just complaining. Now fast forward to this school year, 2016-17, one and a half week from the start of the school year still no call about an open house or a meeting with the teacher. They are too unorganized and lazy for me.

This school will give you a headache dont go here .
