What people are saying

by a parent
Monday, August 31, 2020

Haven't been E-mailed once about anything regarding e-learning. My child isn't allowed to view their schedule, and while we were told to apply for online learning in a messy PTA call, no such links have been provided.
Majority of the staff ignores E-mails, my child comes home talking about certain teachers making fun of parents for their desperate efforts to reach out.
This school needs help, I'm ashamed telling my friends that my child goes here. Close Quote
