As a parent of a student with an IEP, I can say that the actual therapists at this school are great in what they do. My child made great progress with the therapists, but when it came to interactions with other students in the classroom, there were several misunderstandings on the teachers part. It seemed that my child was always sent home with negative remarks. And yet when I was able to communicate with my child in regards to those interactions, there were several misunderstandings. When informing my child’s teacher of those misunderstandings, it was made as if my child was the main issue, when clearly with my child’s IEP, the situations could have been handled differently. My child was bullied and did not feel heard at this school. The principal is great and he does his best to be compassionate with families but In the end, there are so many students at this school per classroom with special needs (as well as with several language barriers) that it is very hard for the teachers to give each child the needed attention. Therefore, their desire to participate in everyday classroom activities is not really there. There is a teacher here that is fairly new in their career which makes me wonder if that’s the reason why the ball was dropped with my child. Overall, I will not be re-enrolling my child at this school.
