New Bridge Academy

My granddaughter went here for 2 1/2 years. In her 8th grade year she became a victim of being bullied. Her Mother went to the principal and assistant principal. With no help from either of them she contacted the School Board. My daughter pulled my granddaughter out until the school board contacted her. They said that the principal and assistant principal Would be calling to set up an appointment to meet with both of them. She got the call the following day from the principal that they wanted to meet the next day. My daughter and grand went and the principal nor the assistant principal never showed up for the meeting he set up. My granddaughter’s 8th grade counsellor was there and apologize for the other two not being there. My granddaughter was bullied because she made friends with a girl that nobody liked. She at one point had 15 girls that were going to beat her up. One girl who was in one of her class threatened to set her hair on fire and to cut it off. The saddest part is that a lot of the girls were friends with my granddaughter before. My granddaughter said to me “ I’m not afraid of their words and I’m not afraid to fight 1 if I had to but I can’t fight 15!!!” So making friends with someone who doesn’t have many at this school seems to be an issue with some students that think bullying is okay! And where is the Principal? Sitting in his office playing on his phone??????Choose another School NOT ELKO MIDDLE!!!!
