Umm.... just my opinion- but maybe by designating a person to post and monitor this forum as part of their job tasks ? Like a sidekick lackey....anyone at the school fit that billing ? Far from dissuading that impression your post seems to confirm it.

Prior HOS, who retired in July 2018 posted only very rarely on this forum, but when doing so, did so only as a registered DCUM user with his name published and he self identified himself in the text body of his post as well . He never posted as " a WIS parent" or " a member of WIS Community" - and to my recall former HOS posted only once in a 5 year span when someone was suspended for drugs or something- just to clarify school policies.- publicly -as the title of the thread was " drug use at Private Schools" which many might consider an appropriate use of this forum. He wasn't trying to defend himself - just state the school discipline policy on drug use on school property and sign his name . Straight forward and honest.

My god, attacking the mother of a Pre-K student in a public forum when her gripe is legit. Its obvious- people only take to public forums when other doors of redress have been slammed in their face. Perhaps a little humility, admitting one has made many mistakes is the road to take instead of treating all of DC to another, " perhaps the school is not for you" message.

It seems also that the long term neighbors, who negotiated legal promises from the school are " not perhaps a good fit for the school" anymore and neither are many long term faculty/ staff

So quite honestly, I still do not really know what exactly your gripe is and how the school responded to your concerns. But you sound very angry and unhinged and if you talk to the admin in the same manner, I am not surprised if they are not responding to you anymore. I think you should remind yourself that this pandemic is not your fault, but also not the school's fault and maybe try to have some humility yourself.

This is a very old thread and I think outdated.

I am finding it pretty hilarious that you seem to think someone from admin is sitting here to instantly respond to your crazy rants.
