Office staff not helpful. Joanne Valencia - is the first contact in the office. My son forgot his…read morejacket, first rainy day. He asked me to bring it to the office, but he doesn't have his phone so no way I could get ahold of him. I come in and she tells me to just put it on the table with his name. The sign above the table says 'staff is not responsible for the items- and they will not call the student to let them know it's there.' I ask her to call for him because he doesn't know I brought it- she tells me he won't hear it because he's in the cafeteria, but calls anyways. Another mom comes in with a laptop- she just tells her a name and asks to make sure she gets it. Joanne calls out for this student and immediately the student comes for the laptop. (Didn't tell the mom to place it on the table with a sticky note like she told me). I didn't leave because I wanted to make sure my son got his jacket. I waited 30 minutes. Finally she called a second time and he came up immediately to get it. Had I not sat and waited I don't believe she would have helped at all. He had to be at recess for a full 30 minutes without a jacket. - and as a mom I could never do that to another kid. I find her extremely rude and unhelpful and not a good fit for the very first person point of contact in the office at the school. Had I come in for a doc appt or something they would have had him come to the office immediately. I know there are systems in place to get ahold of the kids and she just chose not to help and wasted 30+ minutes of my day.

Okay first of all, this school calls home for the dumbest things. I am sick and tired of my child…read moregetting in trouble for the most STUPIDEST things ever. Second of all, the PE teacher, Ms. Kanaly or whatever her name is I do not care at all. Do I have a fat bone to pick with her. She recently called home to get my child in trouble saying that he was not dressed out for PE. When in reality, his butt crack was just showing slightly. And he is pretty chunky but that shouldn't be a reason to call home. Yesterday, they called AGAIN. This reason was because my child finished state testing early. Can you believe they got him in trouble because he finished early. My daughter works as a substitute paraprofessional, she came home to me after working at the school for the first time telling me how the school gets kids in trouble for silly reasons. If they keep calling home, I will call MCS and put a huge complaint. I am sick and tired of my kid getting in trouble there. Also, the so called PE teacher has parents phone numbers on hand to call whenever she wants because she thinks she has the upper hand. DO NOT and I can not stress this enough DO NOT tell me to deal with my child with his behind. If I hear that again, coming from a school staff employee I will not hesitate to call the superintendent.
