All the janitors who help us (they have to open the building for us) work conscienciously and are very helpful, especially Karim who is always around to answer questions and to help us with any facility needs. There's also lots of parking, which was an issue at our last fasicility. We're very happy in our new location.

My son has autism and has communication disability. The school district is unfair and unjust how…read morethey spend money in the special education department. District allows Donnita Hawkins who is special education director to waste money by inviting Attoeney to school IEP meeting when parent brings non-attoeney advocate to facilitated IEP meeting. It has been our experience that Mrs. Hawkins, Special Education Director is very controlling behavior. We had IEE done and she would not allow IEP team to discuss the report. She does not allow us to discuss outside provider information. When complaint of her is brought forward to Karen Remy-Anderson her boss, Superintendant Deb Clemens, Board of Directors and Equity at NTSD. They are All indifferent. They are all reinforcing her negative behaviors without corrective actions. As result Mrs. Hakwins continues to abuse District money on Due Process and brining Attoeney to IEP meetings. She had at least invited 5 or more times school Attoeney to school meetings. Mrs. Hawkins has been very proactive against parent involvement in education. Mrs. Hawkins belief and values "quarterly meetings to discuss progress is more than sufficient to meet student's needs and provide free appropriate education (FAPE). Typically developing student are able to access how the students are doing anytime through skyward. At NTSD, there is bad attitude when parents wants to be involved in student academic. We need some positive change. If Mrs. Hawkins had value of working collaboratively with Parents she would not need to have an Attoeney to school meeting. I believe she is abusing her power and district money. The district gives her unlimited fund for her abuse of district money for Attorney use. Karen Remy-Anderson is 504 Compliance Officer and she is Executive Director of Student Support and Special Education. She will NOT come to IEP meeting to supervise Donnita Hakwins. She has favoritism of Donnita Hawkins. Mrs. Remy-Anderson does not value Parent partnership. She doesn't want parents to know the how the students are doing at school academically. She supports Donnita Hakwins. Dawn Long is Human Resource Director and she Provided response to parent question during Ambassador training on 2-1-2018 witness by 14 ambassadors and Board of Director president that it would be unfair for NTSD to handle complaint of school personnel who is in leadership role. . She talked about how district will have favoritism due to working relationship, and that there will be biases treatment and it would be unfair to the person who brought forth the complaint against the school. I am sharing this experience to increase awareness of what is actually happening in special education department at NTSD. I would love to see some major positive changes. I would like to see increase academic instructional materials, increase collaboration with Parents, and be accountable. I would like to see the leadership model what they speak and write about. The purpose of my review and feedback is to increase awareness what is the REALITY of what is really happening at NTSD. I would highly recommend that Dawn Long, Human Resource Director to provide evidence to the Parents of special education and to the Board of Director her training on working collaboratively with Parents without Discrimianton and biases. It is my recommendation that NTSD provide mandatory Education to Donnita Hawkins, Greg Goble, Paul Dean, Karen Remy-Anderson and Dawn Long regarding cultural competency, autism, and working collaboratively with families of students with disability. There is huge disparity in Special education. Lack of instructional materials at Timberline High School. To this date, the school has not provided any educational material for WA-AIM test preparation for my son. No one can make them do anything when they do not want to do it. There is lack of accountability and their policy and procedure is just for looks. The culture of NTSD special education department is not parent friendly process. The school talks about what district is doing but they themselves can't model the behavior first. I would recommend NTSD to issue Dawn Long to take mandatory corrective action by taking 150 hours of working collaboratively with Patents of different culture. How to Problem solve issues without discrimination. She does not have the human connection to be in Director position. She makes very poor decision making. She doesn't talk with Parents who brings concerns. I believe she lacks the communication skills and tools to be Director of Human Resource. Mrs. Long's behavior is very concerning. She lacks people skills. She discriminates Parent of different culture. Intent: increase awareness and asking for improvement in special education department. Increase parent engagement, and increase parent partnership. Disclaimer: This website allows us to share our experiences or knowledge in which this organization participated.

As another parent who has had children at Northwest Christian Academy for several years, I felt it…read morewas important to share a different and much more accurate viewpoint than "Ginny". The review posted does not match the reality that many of us have experienced, and it includes claims that are either exaggerated and simply not true. It also contains comments that look down on families with lower income, which is prejudiced, entitles and outright UN-Christian. Our school community includes families from every background, and that diversity is one of its strengths. My children have always been treated with kindness and respect. Any time I have heard about student conflict, the staff responded quickly and professionally. The school takes bullying seriously and does not ignore concerns. Suggesting that nothing is done or that the environment is unsafe does not reflect what truly happens on campus. The teachers my children have had are qualified, supportive, and dedicated. I have never seen a situation where someone was teaching a subject outside of their training or credentials. And if they did, it means they have multiple endorsements. Unless you are a teacher, how on earth can you make that call about someone's personal endorcements and qualifications. What an odd thing to assume. Class sizes have been appropriate, and classroom environments are comfortable, safe, as well as managed. My 2 children have never been in a room where students were packed in or unable to learn. The comments about financial aid are especially troubling!! Scholarships and tuition assistance exist so that children from all kinds of families can access a Christian education. Speaking poorly about families who receive help is hurtful and suggests a bias that does not belong in a school review. Financial aid does not increase tuition for other parents, and claiming that it does spreads lies and misinformation. If you really want to have a bias, take a free tour. The school is pretty amazing and offers free tours all the time.
