My daughter started here at the end of 1st grade. I'm not sure if it was because the school year was almost over, but the teacher and staff seemed very closed off and hardly communicated with us, regarding schoolwork, some kind of orientation for my daughter. At the start of her 2nd grade year, the

I have nothing against the school personally, but the security guard permanently banned my wife from the school when she had depression, and had an episode. We did ask the principal if my wife was allowed to come to our daughter's graduation, and she agreed. When we were at the graduation, the security guard saw us inside and made us leave. Due to this, we won't register our son to Chain of Lakes. My wife has been healthy for a year now, and I just feel like we were discriminated against due to my wife's illness. This was so heartbreaking for our daughter to witness us being kicked out of her graduation.
