Un organized and some staff members are to busy to follow proper protocol and procedures . They suspend kindergartners and for very long periods of time. I had to ask for my son to receive homework I dont think they wouldve given it unless I asked. I didnt receive a student handbook with rule and regulations. The kindergarten class room doesnt have enough teaching and creative teaching manipulative ( educational toys and resources for parents to build on their childs learning ) some staff members wear more than one hat so their too busy to get back to you in a timely manner. I prefer
