School Reviews

I am pulling my children from this school as soon as possible. I do not want masking/plexiglass or social distancing pushed upon my child or do I want my child to receive CV19 jab!!! I will make Heath decisions in my family not the school not state. There is NO EMERGENCY at this time (and hacienda been for a long while now) and it seems the school still FORCES my children to mask. They have school from 745 to 1245 every day with Wednesday being remote (which in my opinion) is a joke. I had an incident the other day where a teacher sent my daughter's class and email stating she would not be available for zoom meeting and for them to do homework assigned. No reason why. I called the school last Wednesday to speak with Principal (and I've called every day since she's somehow always too busy) she has still not responded to me she was suppose to call me back 8 days ago still nothing. They don''t care about the kids (some teachers are great there not all). They don''t listen to the parents. It used to be a good school until last few years. I can''t wait to get my kids into another school.
