Elmonica Elementary School

Last year, a parent visiting the cafeteria with their child, witnessed a teacher yelling and pulling another child's arm who was not paying attention in the cafeteria, and we brought it up to the principal, and since then the parents privilege to be in the cafeteria has been taken away and they did not do anything about that teacher . My kinder also stated they saw mommy and daddy arguing a while ago and a teacher instead of calling me, called DHS and they came to my home to investigate and nothing came out of it but i spoke to the principal. I transferred my kid out.

The school would like the parents to be completely involved. Which is great but it's the only good thing about the school. Sure, some of the teachers are great and they love teaching and they're great with the kids. I wish that would fall into the administrations category as well. But my spouse and I have been fighting with the administrations since the moment our child step foot in school. My child has ADHD and at the beginning of the school year did not have a formal diagnosis. He struggled with both his teachers and the other students and they administration office. We finally got him moved to a new classroom. Which only helped a little bit. It wasn't until we threatened to take legal action that the school finally listened to My cries for an IEP. But then we were told it's not even going to start till next year. Because it takes about 6 months to get started. But if they would have listened to me at the beginning of the school year, he would already be set. My son also has a problem with eloping. He has ADHD and very low impulse control. There have been several occasions where his teacher told us they couldn't find him until they got outside. Which to me screams negligence because there are at least 60 adults in that school... Every single classroom has at least one adult in it and he has to walk by at least a dozen of those classrooms to get outside. They have a walking field trip coming up for the kindergarten class and the principal called me personally to tell me that her staff cannot control him by themselves. So unless one of us goes, he's not allowed. Which is I'm pretty sure a legal gray area because he's got a disability and they're singling him out.His teacher is wonderful and she has been very patient with him but seriously the whole administration staff should be replaced with people who actually like children and like their jobs. Cuz the only thing I can think of is the administration must really hate their jobs for us to have that many issues with them.

My daughter was touched inappropriately by a boy in her class, the school gaslighted me about how they would handle things. Come to find out not all teachers are on board with keeping him away from her, and after messaging multiple parties at the school I have gotten no response. If you want your child to be in an unsafe environment send them here.

Wonderful ! I loved sending my child to this school and the director is A+

If you enjoy a very strict brand of Christianity that believes God is fearful and intolerant, this is your school. However, if you follow the learning of Jesus's love and understanding towards "all" people, please be led to a better learning environment. As of just last year, the teachers and leaders were much more welcoming to others and seemingly more kind to the children as well. Bullying (such as repeated notes to die and cruel birthday wishes) were merely brushed off by the staff. There are so many toxic examples from the staff and children from the middle school in particular. As an awarded educator of both private and public schools, it is disheartening to see this kind of education existing today. "Love is patient, love is kind" truly exists outside of this space.
