Juniper Intermediate School

Staff is very rude and leaves parents with no direction on how their own rules and codes work. Education code on truancy is a tactic way to gather more funds for the schools. My son is an avid student and has excused absences and the attendance staff was not familiar with the code and was sending out notices prematurely. They still have no direction since I recently sent a letter to them for the excused absents that my son had. Now they are still trying to have me pay fines and such. They should train their staff more thoroughly.

We moved our child to the AVID program at Summerwind because the Juniper Staff was unresponsive when acts of violence were reported and our child who thankfully can defend himself was forced to against another child's teenage brother that came to the school to beat up our son based on a rumor that was started by the teenage childs brother.

none: There is a teacher that has said many racist remarks and has picked on kids and even talked about their parents...
They have a pretty okay Avid program but there are many students that like to fight and for no reason at all.  If the schools can teach children a family life class, why can't they also teach them about fighting.  Give them reality checks.  There are videos and programs and even the news.  Now that we all can record programs from the television, why not show them at school at least once a month. This world has become worst and worst. Our kids can't even defend them self because they will get punished. even with court fees. For those students that are instigators that is fine but for those who are defending them self it's not fair. The school's idea of defending your self is walking away. that would work in a different world but the bullies won't let them go until they do a lot of damage and in some cases perm damage. Some one has to do something about this quick before our kids either become bullies or dead.
