"OUR CHILDREN ARE NOT SAFE AT PRARIE TRAIL SCHOOL! While the school does try to promote integrity, compassion and respect, many students don't seem to take this serious. There are numerous fist fights throughout the school year, that mainly happen on the school's playground and bus. The people that get hired to care for the students on the playground don't care about the health or safety of any of the students. My kids have come home more than a few times to share horrifying stories that happened on the playground and bus that have left some of their friends bloody or bruised. Sadly, students can't go to these adults when they're scared or need help because they simply have no regard to their concerns- social media and phone time seems to be most important. The busses have cameras and the staff still hasn't been able to control bad students on the bus- this is a safety concern! This school does not take bullying seriously and often reply with stuff like, "it's inevitable and will happen". While things like this might happen, it's up to the school staff to determine what needs to be changed and clearly, this is where they're lacking. Students should be able to obtain fun, loving knowledge in a school that they love attending without feeling scared or worried about their mean, uncontrollable peers. PLEASE TALK TO YOUR CHILDREN EVERYDAY, YOU WILL LIKELY FIND OUT SOMETHING NEW AND DISTURBING :("
