What people are saying

by a parent
Friday, September 5, 2014

My children are new to the school and today is the 10th day of school. I went to go eat lunch with my 4th grader and was very uunhappy with the hehavior I witnessed by a teacher in the lunchroom! Screaming in childrens faces to the point where you are spiting on them! Constant yelling! A very mentally abusive teacher! I was told he was the ISS teacher! Cant remember his name I was so mad! I discussed this issue with the councilor because the principal and assistant principal were unavailable. Very unhappy parent! Talk to your kids they will tell you! All the 4th graders I spoke with were happy to finally have someone see and hear what goes on! So sad! Close Quote
