Inappropriate Conduct by School Bus DriverDear Principal'sI am writing to formally express my serious concern regarding an incident involving one of your school bus drivers who, on August 29th, 2025, physically and verbally mistreated my child, I.R a student in pre k at seele elementary.According to my child, the driver “grabbed them roughly by the arm, yelled at them in an aggressive manner. This behavior is deeply troubling and completely unacceptable for anyone entrusted with the care and transportation of students.As a parent, I expect the highest standard of professionalism, patience, and safety from school staff — especially those in direct contact with children on a daily basis. This incident has not only shaken my child but has caused great concern for our family.I respectfully request that this situation be taken seriously and investigated immediately. Specifically, I ask the school and transportation department to:Review any available bus surveillance footage from bus 31 on August 29th, 2025.Interview any witnesses, including other students who may have been present.Provide a written response regarding what actions will be taken following this report.Furthermore, I would like to request that my child not be placed in direct contact with this bus driver while this matter is being reviewed. Their emotional and physical safety must be a priority.Please confirm receipt of this letter and let me know the next steps in the investigation process. I am prepared to escalate this matter if necessary, but I hope we can resolve this through a responsible and professional approach.SincerelySteven robinson September 2, 2025

I hate this school . The teachers don’t communicate. They’re unorganized and lost my money and my form for t shirts. A teacher got an attitude with my 5 year old. I’m grateful i found a better school for them next school year. This school is a joke.

The staff allowed my ex to enroll my children in this school with zero documentation of his custody. I called and explained that he was not the primary parent; he did not have their birth certificates, and I sent them a copy of the custody documents and they still stonewalled me. When I started working with my girls to continue their education with this school online, I was informed that they were being removed from the school after only two weeks of online school. I was informed of this the first day after the massive snow storm when the school had several snow days. During this time, my youngest had completely caught up on her school work. I did not know however that my eldest was behind on her math and the teacher told me nothing until it was too late. In my opinion, the school leadership knew that it was a legal liability for them to have enrolled my daughters with zero documentation; with the non-primary parent; opening themselves up for a lawsuit and they were covering their tracks by kicking out a six year old who was completely caught up on her work and a ten year old who was missing some math assignments.

8/10 Eight out of ten do to some other issues.
