Atherwood Elementary

"I am disgusted with this School. I have never seen such poor judgment. First off they have no crossing guards. The traffic is horrible with drop off and pick up. I was told the parents voted against a cross guard or traffic control, as a parent I do not remember voting for any such thing. This is very dangerous. The teacher I have is a complete scatter brain, very unorganized, with no structure. At first I thought it was just me, then I was talking with other parents who said the same. I had turned in my volunteer form, at the start of school, I ended up turning in 3 of them, for the school to turn around and tell me.. Oh we found your original one. The teacher tells me my kid is missing assignments, I was completely dumb founded to find the assignments in the class room. So this is very disturbing to me, when I am told my child is doing well, to see the grades have gone down 1/2 a score. Now for the principal, I get a message from my child ... had to change their shoes... of course no other kid has had to, as I have observed the sandals on others plenty of times, and no PE what difference does it make. I take the shoes up to go back and give them to my kid, for the principal to say here I will take them back, there is Star Testing Make up going on and you will interrupt the class... WHAT.. and you wont? What difference does it make... he is a bit of a power player. I would not recommend this school... I dont even want to start on the fact that most kids who are enrolled travel from other areas, I thought there were boundary's. The PTA is worthless as well, they have out of boundary people doing the PTA. This school says it is a closed campus when in fact I have seen the campus open with the gardeners being there in the mornings when the kids are getting there. This is also unacceptable.... anyone can get on this campus. I have never seen such a poorly run school, and if you tell them they take it very personable and attack you and make excuses. I hope this helps some of you. I hope they get a new principal, they surely need one."
