We've been at Fairmont North Tustin campus for 3 years. I thought it had a health office and health…read morestaff (I'm not even asking for an RN, just a health staff member), just like other schools. All Irvine public schools have health rooms and health staff on campus. Stupid me -- I assumed that at the very least this so-called private school would have such a fundamental facility and staff. But no. Today I found out there's no health office and no sick room where a child can at least lie down for a while until a parent arrives. I'm in shock. What kind of risky, scammy school have I put my child into for the past 3 years? This campus just spent a lot of money on expansion and also raised tuition fees. It's ridiculous to find out that behind all those price increases and fancy upgrades, no one seems to care about students' health -- and none of that money appears to have gone toward improving health support for the kids. No health office. Not even one health staff member. Not even a sick room for students to rest. -- In response to your reply: Thank you for reminding me -- although your non-medical staff determined (since there is no health clerk or school nurse on campus) that "it's better to remain in an upright position in a chair, while ensuring attentive care and comfort," when I arrived, my pale six-year-old child was kneeling on the ground, coloring on a piece of paper and using a wooden bench next to the reception desk as a flat surface. There is no health clerk. The temporary reception teacher was busy with her own duties. I did not see any "assured attentive care and comfort." Instead, I observed teachers who appeared reluctant to be involved, likely because without a designated health staff member, temporarily caring for a sick child simply adds to their already full workload. Where is the "bed" or the "attentive care and comfort" you mentioned? All I saw was a small, cold wooden bench near the reception area, with people walking around. Considering the level of tuition families pay, our children deserve more than this. Three different staff members confirmed to me yesterday that there is no bed available for a sick student. Therefore, the only way I was able to learn that such an option supposedly exists was through a Yelp review. Reality is reality. Parents, please do your research before sending your child to a so-called private school: * Is there a health room or a designated sick resting area -- like those available in Orange County public schools? * Is there a school health clerk available on campus -- as in Orange County public schools? * Do teachers even know whether the so-called "bed for sick students" actually exists? Despite the amount of money families invest in a private school that lacks even fundamental health support, it is worth considering whether the absence of a basic health office or a health clerk could place students at greater risk in certain situations.

A school once hummed with hopeful song, Where laughter…read moreechoed bright and long. Each classroom held a vibrant spark, A beacon shining through the dark. Then came a voice that spoke with pride, But left compassion cast aside. Commands replaced the open ear, And trust gave way to doubt and fear. The staff who gave their hearts each day Found kindness slowly stripped away. Families seeking common ground Met walls where warmth could not be found. A leader's title filled the door, Yet leadership was something more. It lives in listening, lifting high, In seeing hope in every eye. The light that made the school unique, The joy in every smile and cheek, Grew faint beneath a heavy hand That could not truly understand. But even when the halls seem gray, And brighter days feel far away, A school's true heart is people still-- No single shadow breaks their will. For lights once dimmed can shine anew, When led by those whose hearts are true. And hope, though quiet for a while, Returns with every child's smile.
