Open Quote My child has a learning disorder. Has trouble paying a attention.
Gets no help from teachers. If you "the teacher" can send home a note that my child was talking... you should be able to send me a note, that my child is not participating or is off task. Chets creek does not care if your child needs help. Do not bring your child here if they need extra help in class. Close Quote

Open Quote If your child has special needs, this is not the school for them. If you aren't part of the already formed clique, this school is not for you. If you are not a teacher with your child enrolled in this school, this school is not for you. I am so glad I took my children to private school and they are now receiving the services they needed. Nothing is more infuriating than having teachers who are unable to help your child, blame your child, and insist they need certain medications. The teachers are fake, and the principal backs her teachers and does not listen to the parents. I would not recommend this school to anyone. Close Quote
