Monday, May 23, 2022

I wish they’d get their Principal and Vice Principal some communication skills. I’ve never seen so many kids written up for such nonsense in my life. Not of fan of the current “leaders” of this school! The need to step down a notch from their high horse and talk to parents on the same level. Disrespectful and condescending. Close Quote
