William S. James Elementary School

My son got bullied numerous time and they did nothing about it.

My two children recently transferred to Abington Elementary School. because my children are new the area and still adapting to their surroundings I decided my children should be car riders.On their second day of school I arrive to the school to pick my children up and they are no where to be found while in the car rider line I was informed by a staff member that Someone had called the school and made other arrangements for my children transportation home knowing I had not made that call nor Had I instructed anyone to make that call on my behalf I became immediately concerned and panic I parked my vehicle to make my way to the main office. As I was walking I was stopped by a staff member she ask where I was going I explained my children are missing that the school had lost my children her response was ok and she continued with the dismissal with no regards to what I had just mentioned. At this point I concluded that I was on my own to find my children without any assistance from the administration team or staff members on duty i began searching for my own children. I decided to call a neighbor to find out if they happened to know the bus number for our community. While still frantic and still in panic mode a women approaches me and begins to scream in my face and ear that she will ban me I later found out that she was the principal .Stacey Gerringer (principle) at no point had she offered any assistance she never announced who she was and showed no sympathy ,consideration, or compassion of what I was going Thur. She sent out a massive email to all parents and staff members referring to me as a disrupt parent with failure to mention that they had lost my children. Not knowing rather or not If I had found my children She had police come to my house and ban me for 1 year off school property knowing I’m a single parent and my children only means of transportation to and from school this shows she doesn’t have my children education or best interest at hand. An although I’d much rather have police come and ban me rather then tell me something happened to my children I still feel the situation is unjustified there was no apology no mediation or meeting to resolve this issue so it doesn’t happen again .

New Covenant Christian School is a wonderful place for students to grow both academically and spiritually. My children experienced challenging curriculum, as well as a nurturing school environment. They use a classical approach to learning which has helped my children not only gain an understanding of the content taught, but to also have confidence and a conviction to share their faith and articulate their thoughts with peers and adults. There is a strong focus on student safety, and the school has recently upgraded its security system. The teachers are very knowledgeable in their subject matter and take time to build in special events to support the students' understanding of content and aid them in cultivating a love of learning. As a parent who has worked in the educational field for over twenty years, I would encourage you to consider visiting their campus and seeing how they are different from other schools in the area. If you are looking for a school that is focused on strong academics, while fostering a Christian world view and nurturing environment, New Covenant Christian School is an excellent place to consider.
