Thursday, September 27, 2018

If I could rate this school nothing I would. Not a single teacher seems happy as well as the front office staff. They don’t have a nurse on staff. The receptionist is half receptionist half nurse. She did dealing with sick kids as well as dealing with parents and phone calls. The principal could care less about parents teacher issues. The assistant principal will have every excuse she can think of for her teachers to back them up. Close Quote
