Mccall Elementary School

The Kindergarten teacher my child had didn't seem to want my child since they were a tad difficult, she would write every little thing they did wrong, over exaggerated by saying they threw (blank), but the video only showed them just dropping the item. She neglected my child and left him in the classroom while leaving to take the rest of the class out to another classroom. She didn't check to make sure all were accounted for before leaving to make sure no child was left behind. She only focused what he did "wrong" while locked in her room, but no one, not the principal, not the assistant principal nor the teacher thought they should have done a better job via the teacher side. Her report was only focused on what my child did while inside the locked room (took down teachers post/ decorations/ etc.) and they left out the part of the so called responsible teacher. I had to bring this up to them like this is negligence and could have been dangerous for my child to be left alone in a class or somewhere else- period. FYI: She was not a first year teacher either. The same teacher is seen pulling my child's arm on video, the principal and assistant principal (they didn't even address this BTW), the video was shown to me because he refuse to go to class after being pull out of the line, then we see the teacher yanks his arm to get him to move, and then leave him alone in the hall crying. AGAIN this was only shown to me to view HIS rebellion! My child later tells me that the actual principal hurt his arm, the district police- said its not criminal so no charger will be given. They are not suppose to touch children, one teacher is seen yanking him on video and its not hard to see, that if the teacher did it (the principal didn't see anything wrong with that), chances are the principal does it. I really hope no other child had or will ever have the same experience with them. I hope they learn from this and this never happens again. Advice for any parents who have a wild child (ADHD or anything), record all conversations with all the staff from day one, yes they are nice, but they will lie and say they never told you that. They claim to have the child best interest but if you have any concerns you bring up or point out what they did wrong (hurting arm), they will get defensive and only care to protect the school image in a very friendly matter. My child did like his new teacher, but by that point, we lost all trust with the school.

McCall is an example of teamwork between staff, students and community (i.e., parents, grandparents, etc.). As a grandparent to two girls who attend McCall, I am impressed with the supportive atmosphere. It is the first time in my life as a parent or teacher that I have heard students addressed as friends.

As part of a military family my children have gone to several schools around the country. McCall Elementary and the Aledo School District are head and shoulders above anything I have seen... anywhere.

Outstanding leadership! The Prinicipal is always accessable , mingling with the parents and children, even helps with opening doors in the morning rush! The teachers are caring and offer a structured curriculum in comfortable surroundings. Our daughter has flourished here!

My girls both go to Mcall. I love both the teachers, and the office staff. I love the fact that they keep the parents envolved in everything.
