Friday, August 24, 2018

A little disappointed in this school. My son goes for his first day of public schooling and they had us bring him in for assessments all day for a 5 year old. It was a disorganized mess of stressed out teachers and 50 kids while they decide where they want these kids to be placed. I walk into the school to pick him up and he comes out with a scratch on his face and the nurse says he fell while on the monkey bars. I asked if an adult was around he said no. For one I NEVER take him on the monkey bars because he is 5 years old! Why is that even an option to have kindergarteners play on equipment meant for 4th graders and above? Sorely disappointed how my child was treated. They didn't even call me to tell me . Hey Wheatland how about you not treat 5 year olds like they are sheep you just have to corral and actually give the children attention. Sad I didn't originally go for a private school. Time to move on. Close Quote
