This school staff are not helpful and the teachers have some needed ... education. I have had several issue that would have never been issues while living in Fairfax county. Lesser issues were handled in a much more professional and child friendly manner. Say ...like a phone call to notify me before you publicity humiliate my daughter. Even at work you do not delivery reprimands in front of others, why do that to a child in school? AND come to find out after further investigation, my daughter was not at fault for what she was punished for! Every time I call , no one seems to want to help and the excuse" there any many departments" does not cut it. We are selling our home and moving away from this dump.
