[quote=Anonymous]I’m a parent at Stevens Elementary, and I’m extremely concerned about what’s going on at the school. There are safety, communication, and health issues that just can’t be ignored anymore.

A student this year nearly went missing. Another fell down the stairs—and the parents didn’t even get a phone call till late. That’s unacceptable. My own child’s teacher has been out more than half the year, and there have been six assistant teacher changes in just a few months. There’s zero consistency, and it’s affecting my child so much that they don’t want to go to school anymore.

We’ve been asking for the curriculum all year and still haven’t gotten anything. The teacher isn’t open to questions or feedback and often just shuts down the conversation. Instruction is spotty at best, yet the kids are being marked “not meeting expectations”—how is that fair when they’re barely being taught?

There are also health concerns. The teacher had norovirus and kids in class, almost all got sick and we were never told. Kids weren’t kept home, classrooms weren’t cleaned properly. That’s a health risk to everyone.

Aftercare is another issue. I’ve seen a teacher put on cartoons for the kids during class instead of engaging them. And my child has come home hungry multiple times because breakfast / lunch wasn’t provided on some days.

This isn’t just about minor complaints—it’s about basic safety, health, and respect for our kids and families. We deserve better. Stay out of this school. [/quote]
