- Reviewed by a Parent/Guardian on November 16, 2006 (Rating: 2 / 5) Report As Inappropriate
- The principal is unapproachable, unflexable, and cold. They do not work in the best intrest of my son. I have asked for emotial and academic help for him for the last 2 years without any success. The principal refuses to be flexible with working parents schedules in regards to group meetings. I was told by Wendy Vangieson, principal that if I was unable to be at at team meeting due to the time and date, in regards to my son, that they would have it without me. Absolutely NO other time was accemptable. They even started having him see a social worker without telling me in the beginning. Don't leave your childs educational foundation in the hands of this uncooperative staff. I have been discouraged to seek additional resources to help my son, but no one cane seem to give me any indication of a plan. I was told that my son was at a mid kindergarden level at the beginning of first grade. I questioned as to why he was not retained and I was told by David Smith, psychologist that he was pushed through because of his age and money issues. Do you really want these people working against you and your childrens success? Isn't school hard enough?
