SANDRA RANGEL, the principal for Skycrest Elementary School, and AMY ROVAI GREGORY the head of San Juan District/FACE has and continues to abuse me and my daughter at Skycrest Elementary School. This is a horrible school and please take a moment to read this very watered down version of my reported experiences at Skycrest.
For the last three years Skycrest has on multiple occasions deprived my daughter of water and her water bottle. Teachers every single year have instructed and forced my daughter and multiple other children to leave their water bottles outside to be subjected to outside temperatures like feral animals. Every single year i have clarified the need for children to keep their water bottles indoor because of Sacramento's dangerously high spring/summers temperatures, and they have continued to prohibit the children's access to their water.
For the last 3 years, on a daily basis the street inside and outside Skycrest Elementary School parking lot has been ran through by homicidal parents and drivers. Every single day my family and other and families have been subjected to almost being hit by vehicles. Whether it be vehicles completely obstructing the walk ways preventing cars from seeing children walking around vehicles in the crosswalks, texting while driving inside the school parking lot, or swerving around vehicles on the opposite side of the road into oncoming traffic, Skycrest has done absolutely nothing to remedy this. It it UNSAFE FOR ALL LIFE TO TRANSIT IN OR AROUND SKYCREST and the school refuses to instill staff/safe schools to support change.
For the last 3 years I have been discriminated against and sexually harassed by parents and Skycrest staff, and Sandra has not done anything to help me feel safe or remove these threats to campus. There is a family at Skycrest whose parents are abusive and violent m*th users. These parents are on drugs and are homeless and have assaulted me on video and smoked cr*ck passed out in my backyard. I shared this information with Sandra and she is ALLOWING this man on campus with OUR CHILDREN. She has seen this man assault me, she has seen the photo with the paraphernalia, and ALLOWS and WELCOMES this man on campus with our children. Sandra is a threat to all juvenile life.
Most importantly, my daughter has been subjected to heat exhaustion by Skycrest Elementary School and their Physical Education program. They have made my child and other children RUN outside in 98/99 degree weather (because "it's not quite 100") and be ACTIVE in direct sunlight. If they are not active they are barked at by staff. I have personally witnessed the PE teacher yell at children who are physically ill and not properly assess the upwards of 25 children in their care for numerous presenting medical symptoms. Sandra has even interrogated and harassed these children during PE when they attempted to get water. I had to get a medical note to protect my child because all the adults in this school failed to do this at every turn.
Front staff Kady Gerolamy is abusive and combative and has discriminated against me for disabilities and my race. Kady has also on multiple occasions discussed my daughters health information loud enough for other staff and parents to hear, violating my child's privacy rights. Teachers here have made baseless accusations that have affected the relationship between parents and staff, and Sandra has enforced and proudly declared her unity with this behavior. Amy from the district has defended and denied all of these instances even if the face of medical data, lengthy email testimonies with additional witnesses CCed, photo and audio evidence and more.
Please share your stories and do not attend this elementary school. It is not safe for transit, it is not safe for medical reasons, it is not safe for educational purposes, its is in every aspect not safe. I have hundreds of photos and email threads with proof of their negligence. They don't answer emails for weeks on end and they will accuse you of lying.
What's more important than all of these instances is the trust between a child and their school. Amy's associate Elizabeth Lopez from San Juan District/FACE said to my face this, "Of course we don't believe kids when they tell us things. Children lie. We don't believe parents version's of events either because they're emotionally involved. Staff is the only reliable perspective we take into consideration when conflict arises". This sets such a dangerous precedent and infers that their teachers are monsters who don't and have never cared about the kids they teach. It also demonstrates that you will never be believed during conflict and you will never be able to find resolution.
THIS SCHOOL IS NOT SAFE. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN HERE! read more
