[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a friend with a 5th grader At FV. She reports vaping in the bathroom that 4th and 5th graders are doing. School isn’t telling parents what’s going on. 
This would give me pause. I don’t know about the other 2 schools.[/quote]

There have been incidents of vaping at other ES also - Barnsley (also in the Wood cluster) sent home a letter last year because kids were caught vaping.

Though at least parents were informed, unlike FV.  [/quote]

PP FVES parent here - we were notified of a vaping incident in December (I believe it was a school wide notification). My child is younger but has friends with older siblings. Everyone was very aware of the December incident. I have not heard anything since, but it’s possible that things are not getting reported.

Dr. Fish, the new principal is very polarizing but I personally have been happy with my limited interactions with her.

I am nervous about Wood though.

Can you elaborate on “Dr. Fish is very polarizing”?[/quote]

There have been a few very unpopular changes like no costumes at the harvest parade (it was basically a Halloween parade in everything but name before) and this, plus how the changes have been communicated have really pissed off some people. Other people just don’t seem to like her. I personally have not been bothered by any of the changes (which mostly seem in line with what other schools have done) and the couple times I have interacted with her have been professional and fine. But we haven’t had any problems that have needed office involvement tbh. That seems to be because we have so far had very good teachers at FVES. I know there is some significant unhappiness with one of the new teachers but I can’t speak to that personally either. I could feel very different next year so who knows.[/quote]

I should add both my kids seem to like her fine. [/quote]
