My child was being bullied in this school. I was reporting it to the principal and even the district but nothing was done to assist. The principal and assistant principal do not know how to effectively communicate with parents. They do not take time out to listen to the complaints of the parents especially if it is a topic that tarnishes the image of the school. Close Quote
