J W Mclauchlin Elementary

The lack of communication between the VP and Principle is astounding. To start, I introduced myself, and the vice-principal said, oh, so you're the big dog? What is that supposed to mean? I recently had an issue with my son and another student. My son was suspended for two days without having any problems before this, minus minor stuff. Yet, when I talked to the VP, they didn't seem to care about my child's needs. I had expressed several times to the principal and VP that my son is going through medication changes. We are currently waiting for a psych eval, and so far, the system has failed him in getting him tested. Even the school said we don't or can't test him because of lack of personnel and the same issue last year when I requested my other son to test for an IEP. I am currently seeking a psych eval. Instead of being understanding and supportive, the administration said, we are treating this no different as if your son brought a gun to school. Keep in mind that my son is five and did no physical harm to the other student. I have asked several times to speak in person with the VP or Principle to no avail. I showed up this morning, and the person at the door said they were helping in the car lane couldn't speak to me right now. I emailed the school on Friday to set up a time to talk to them about what happened. This was at 5:12 pm Friday. I still don't have a response back from anyone. I emailed again this morning, and still no response back. I even left my cell number. Yes, I understand that my son isn't the only kid in the school, but If a parent shows his concern, It's important to address that parent rather than ignore him.

Over the last two years my children have attended here we have had a multitude of issues. We have witnessed moldy food be given to our children. This was found in a juice that was sent home. The milk they serve has sometimes been spoiled. This year while still trying to protect people from COVID they can't get my kids to school on time. Their bus often times arrives to the bus stop 30 to 40 min late everyday. If you attempt to drive your children to school they do not want you to get out of your car and they will open the car door and unbuckle your children from their car seats as well as try to move your seats in your. They say it's for safety but I don't know who they are protecting. The parent from getting hit by a car or trying to limit the spread of germs. All the while they are touching everyone's vehicles without sanitizing their hands before touching each car. If you are able to find a place to live out side of this school district I would. This is the 5th state my kids have attended school and this is by far the worst school in regards to communication and level of education I have seen this far.
