Parents faced over 100° heat, missing teacher signs, absent staff in classrooms, and long lines with only a few helpers outside.

No teacher signs or staff in classrooms to guide children. Temperatures were over 100° while families stood outside. This is awful !

My Granddaughter graduated from this Elementary/Middle School in West Sacramento, CA. This Class of…read more2024 got their diplomas to promote to High School on the hottest day of the year!! Weather report stated excessive heat warnings and triple-digit temperatures. What was even more sad was there didn't seem to be a back-up plan in place. C'mon, you had to have known and/or checked the weather forecast that there was going to be extremely, sever hot weather... Or, here's a future suggestion , I am pretty sure maybe the PTA had funds or the school could have used emergency funds to purchase canopies and have provided water at least to the graduating students. OR..., An all out emergency text could have been sent to all parents stating "Bring your own canopy, water and/or ice etc. Some consideration for older people and younger children regarding this heat should have been taken. This is horrible!! Worst graduation experience EVER!! Many didn't even enjoy the ceremony because everyone all around were continuously complaining about the poor planning by the school. Shame on you Elkhorn Village Elementary School in West Sacramento, California.

Unlike what happens in public schools (kids make fun of or try to talk over the person presenting) I am a firm believer that Bradshaw Christian helps our kids keep their innocence about them and that is something no amount of money can buy. I was able to talk with the Principal at the Salute to Service football game they had and I spent the whole time thanking her and her staff for running such a great school for my son to attend -Justin Reece

My family has been a part of the Camellia community for nine years. We have two children who…read morestarted in preschool and are working their way through their prospective grades now. The community is unmatched- loving, thoughtful, supportive. A lot of family members don't understand the Waldorf method of teaching and make jokes, but my kids are both strong readers with curious minds about every subject. They offer Spanish, choir, strings, and band as part of their regular curriculum along with gardening, movement, etc. The students are taught in a way that offers a depth of understanding that other schools simply don't have the time to teach. Rather than doing a written project about catapults, for example, they actually build one. We love this school and community and are confident our kids will be very well prepared for what comes next.

I chose Camellia Waldorf very intentionally for my daughter. I loved the Waldorf philosophy and…read moretruly thought this would be a school and community we would be part of for years. It was also a significant financial investment for our family, one I was willing to make because I believed in what the school represented. Unfortunately, our kindergarten year ended in a way I never expected. The turning point was when I witnessed my daughter's teacher, Ms. Olga, physically pull/drag my daughter by her legs out of the classroom and leave her in the hallway. After talking with my daughter afterward, she told me this was not the first time Ms. Olga had pulled her out of the classroom that way and left her in the hallway. As a parent, that was extremely upsetting to learn. The school told me they investigated the incident. When I later asked about the outcome of that investigation, I was told the details were private information, but that Ms. Olga would no longer do that. I understand there may be privacy limitations regarding an employee, but being told essentially that it wouldn't happen again left me with more questions than reassurance, especially after learning from my daughter that it had happened before. I wasn't asking for anyone to be fired or trying to create a huge issue. I simply asked that my daughter be moved to another kindergarten classroom for the last six weeks of school. They offered Ms. Haley's class, but that class still shared time and activities with Ms. Olga's class. I asked for the other kindergarten classroom so my daughter could actually be separated from the situation, and the school would not accommodate that. My daughter ultimately stayed home for the remainder of kindergarten. What disappointed me even more was what happened afterward. My daughter and I were initially invited to the Fly Away Ceremony. After I emailed the school expressing my disappointment that they couldn't find another classroom for her, I was told it would be best if I did not attend. As a parent, I should be able to respectfully question a school's decision and advocate for my child without feeling like that makes me unwelcome. There are things about Waldorf education that I still love, and I know other families may have completely different experiences. I can only speak about ours. I just wish that when something this serious happened, there had been more accountability and more effort to find a solution for my daughter instead of her losing the last weeks of her kindergarten year.

Let me start by saying I've had my child attend this school for the past two years and I'm really…read moredisappointed in the lack of management from school administration, not protecting children from buying "stuff" from the back of a truck that parks right by the school bus gate, or buying drinks as well as unhealthy snacks from the seller pushing a mobile fruit cart. You know, the ones with a huge umbrella and visible cut fruit. Firstly about this truck, I did not write down the license plate number but I approached the front office three times and told the 2 elderly receptionists that my child was being short changed by $7 cash each time that truck parks next to the school. This truck is open for illegal business selling "stuff" that includes assorted American and Mexican candies (maybe containing Lead) as well as not providing a visible business license or reporting tax information to the bureau. I told the receptionist I wanted to talk to the school principal and the receptionist simply said "I'll take your number and name down and pass on the information." I never got a phone call from anyone. I REALLY DON'T KNOW what these people are selling in the back of their truck but I've noticed its being sold by adults displaying unsavory character playing annoying loud music. At one point I came back to the front office and I asked if I should call the police. The same receptionist said she will make sure the vice-principal walks the perimeters so to chase away these people who sell out of their trucks. The sellers are still there off and on during the week...you can see them as you walk your kid away from school where the yellow buses park. On to the problem with the seller of unhealthy snacks/drinks from the mobile cart. She has been warned about advertising her snacks/Takis and drinks on the school's sidewalk that she has moved her business to the dangerous corner of 59th street and 36th ave. (imagine lots of car passing by on a narrow street, people walking everywhere without looking both ways). I was told that as long as the seller is not near/on the school's sideway then there is nothing the school can do. The seller wears gloves but it is the same gloves that is touching cash bills and making juice drinks at the same time. There is no water station, alcohol wipes, or diluted bleach wash solution to clean her cart or hands. Other students have complained to me that this seller has also short changed them of dollars but they were too scared to ask for their change. Perhaps I need to take matters into my own hands and contact the California tax board about these small businesses evading taxes and shut them down. How long does this need to continue? Does a student need to get sick from eating unhealthy drinks made by unsanitary gloves before the school does anything? There needs to be a jump start on the principal leadership, it is nearly non-existent. I believe the teacher quality is above satisfactory. The parent involvement can be above average if we all can be more vocal about problems encountered at this school so to get the administration off their chairs and do something. PS- I even checked this school's rating on www.greatschools.org and Peter Burnett scored 3/5 stars. There is a bully problem at this urban school that even locking the front gate with a metal chain does not control student behavior or keep students from encountering unsavory adults selling "stuff aka assorted candies".

I first went to this elementary school about five or six years ago as a kid, I am now a high school…read moreSophomore, and let me tell you that this elementary school has given me some of the most nostalgic and best memories I've ever had in my life. Maybe I give this school a five star purely because of the soft spot I have for it, but I digress. I would 100% recommend this school for any parent that wants their child to have a great time during school, or to give them beautiful memories of their youth. I am not sure what they are up to nowadays (perhaps I'll return one day to check up with the teachers and principal) but from my knowledge, every year at the end before summer vacation, they have a huge school field day party with water slides, food, candy, and music blasting from huge speakers, and for the 6th graders around the spring time in May, every 6th grade teacher takes their entire class to a field trip at a camp named Leoni Meadows and it's such a fun experience that your child won't ever forget about. With Zip-lining, to hiking, the environment your child will be around is Mind blowing. There is also After school programs (ASES) and the staff there is so caring as well. Want your child to enroll in summer school? Peter Burnett also provides a summer school program that shows your child a way of learning in a fun and educational way, I still remember memories I had with my classmates in summer school. And lastly, the principal and teachers there are so amazing and caring (Shout out to my 5th grade teacher Mr.Decker) and Mr.Huezo is such a great principal, the man cares for his job and does a great work at what he's supposed to do, he'll treat your child as if it was his own, and he cares for all of them despite what others might say, he's a great role model for your kid, and he'll treat them with the upmost respect. The school also provides a nursing room with a nurse that takes care of your kid, and there is also a library that has a caring librarian. From field trips, to learning, this school WILL BE the perfect place for your child to learn, and to make nostalgic and beautiful memories while also making caring friends along the way, I have a soft spot for this school as a high schooler, and I know your child will have the same feeling as well when he grows up :)
