The school was previously a school that parents sought out. However, the school is slowly declining. The staff is very unorganized for the most part. PTA is almost non-existent and parents are usually notified of trips/events at the last minute. SO much focus has been placed on the fact that the school is sugar free - no one is minding the house. Teachers are very lax and the front office staff tends to have condescending attitudes. It is very sad because the parents want to be involved.

However I must agree with the other parent with reference to the front office staff. They ARE very condescending in dealing with the parents. This attitude does make one feel as though we are not welcome in the school. This is very unnerving because you do not want to get on their bad side, because they will take it out on your child. However, that does not give them the right to talk to parents any kind of way. That is something that needs to be addressed at the head. Like I said it will be interesting to see if my review changes at the end of the year.
