Open Quote Our new administration in 2015 is ruining a formerly fabulous school. We used to be clean and organized. Now we've got trash everywhere and chaos is the rule. Somehow they are paying a mom whose a professional volunteer to paint the walls? My girls are going to go live with my Mom across the river in a few weeks. Everyone used to be included and we seemed to always find a way to get along. Now we have factions and favorites and fights and lots of silliness. No one knows whats goin on til the last minute and "information" is power. Like little kids sayin "Nah nah nah nah nah nah I know some thing you don't know. The PTA used to be great but now are a joke. Teachers are stressed, behaving badly, always on their phones, and dressing inappropriately. The office staff act like they need lithium bc they love you one minute then bite your head off the next. Hate it. Just hate it. Close Quote
