I arrived with ONE person waiting. After about 15 minutes of not being helped, that person left to the restroom so I obviously moved to the front of the line. Another woman got behind me after filling out a packet, then the first woman came back and got behind her. There was one receptionist and alot of phone calls and kiddos coming through so I understand she was super busy, but with my receptionist experience you help people who are in your face before you help a phone call. After about 45 minutes of standing there(ONLY needing an enrollment packet) she decides to help the lady behind me FIRST, and then the woman behind her FIRST. I find that extremely ridiculous. Waiting 45 minutes to an hour for a packet to be given to me, and 2 people who were behind me being helped first, as well as multiple phone calls? Horrible. I had high hopes after hearing such good things about this school. Hopefully my child's experience there will be better than mine.

They…read moreare a smaller school so the class sizes arent too large which provides more one on one teacher time for each student. The principal is very kind and seems to know most of the kids by name! The school has had quite a few "recreational" fieldtrips (as opposed to educational ones), but the kids really have to earn them! This school is very family oriented and provides family game nights, performances, and family night fundraisers at other locations. Super great school

My daughter has been in this school district for 4 years now. She attends Old River Elementary, and…read morein these years, I have had no complaints. This is the first time having to come to the actual district office. It looks like their buildings are on two streets. There are plenty of parking and even solar panels in the parking lot! Even if you walk into the main office, the receptionist will tell you where to go, like she did me, because there are different buildings for different services. It can be kind of confusing. Staff was kind, though, and the building I did have to go into for the info on fingerprinting I had to get buzzed into. This whole process was very easy, which I appreciated. My little girl will remain in the Panama-Buena Vista School District for Jr High as well, so I'm hoping my experience will remain as pleasant as it has been for elementary!

Awful is an understatement!…read more I have requested a copy of my students IEP for over a month. I am very well aware this is part of the parents rights to obtain a copy of it for their records. My child is in 7th grade this isn't her first IEP and won't be her last. I have emailed the woman who conducted the meeting Monica H., as well as her teacher who is supposed to be giving her a whole period of extra help AND the principal of Stonecreek. Finally went in person, asked the front desk lady. She wrote my name down I STILL LEFT WITH NO IEP. No IEP still. Maybe not conduct the IEP meetings via zoom? That way the parent can get a copy after the meeting is over? No responses on email from multiple people including the principal who are all employed at Stonecreek nor the woman who represented PBVUSD that led the IEP meeting back in early September. The lack of communication and care is shameful. They have pushed her through grade after grade knowing she has autism and a learning disability. Her teachers have no problem failing her knowing she has this disability. Grades are supposed to be weighted. She turns in all of her work and has 4 Fs in multiple subjects. Clearly she's in classes that are too hard for her. Wouldn't that be a sign to provide this child with more services? Not at Stonecreek or PBVUSD. They are content pushing her through each subject and grade with MINIMAL help.
