Before my son even officially started school here, the front office made four major mistakes -- and…read moreevery single one was met with deflection, no apology, and no accountability. Mistake 1: I showed up for a tour that was advertised on the school's social media and that I had already spoken to staff about. The front desk told me there were no tours. I had to pull up the flyer and insist, only to be treated like I didn't know what I was talking about. Instead of admitting the mistake, the staff member took a personal call in my face before telling me to sit down. Mistake 2: I enrolled my son in kindergarten, but was told he was placed in TK because of his age. I had to explain the cutoff and prove he would be 5 in time. They confirmed it later but never told me directly or admitted the error. Mistake 3: At teacher night, my son's name wasn't on the kindergarten list. I was told he wasn't enrolled -- after I'd enrolled him in April. I had to suggest they check the TK list (again) where they had put him by mistake. No apology, just "go figure it out." Mistake 4: On the first day of school, I was told I already picked up my son's two free shirts. I had not -- and I never even filled out a size ticket for them to mark me off. I finally got the shirts today, but only after being treated like it was some favor they were doing for me. Here's the problem: This is why mistakes keep happening -- no one is taking ownership, so no one is changing their approach. Every time something goes wrong, it's brushed off or the blame is put on parents. The principal and my son's teacher have been great, but the front office sets the tone -- and the tone here is disorganized, dismissive, and resistant to parents advocating for themselves. It feels like they work with a certain demographic and aren't used to families expecting better. The parents stand on campus cursing, wearing crop tops and booty shorts and the school doesn't raise a standard of no acceptance of this behavior. Thankfully, I didn't pull my son from another school we were accepted to. We're transferring immediately. This place has been nothing but a headache before the year even started, and trust was broken before it could even be built. It seems some of the teachers and the principal is decent, but it's not enough weight pulled to bypass the incompetence.

I've neverr seen a school so disorganized, my daughter-graduation was yesterday, they left us…read morestanding in the rain for more than two hours Babies were in the rain, pregnant woman in the rain and their excuse was that they would let people in once the rain stopped, which never did once they let us in seats. We're all wet. Everyone stand outside for two hours for no reason because the rain never stopped. They wouldn't allowed waters or umbrellas because they wanted to make money inside selling their own At the end, due to the rush, they allowed umbrellas Many parents left and a couple of kids that were graduating even left because of the ridiculous organization that they had, it was very disappointing.

They have a lot to resources to offer the students. I myself like the school a lot but my daughter does not which is why I left 2 stars but the school it's self I give 4. Thank you

My son was abused by one of the teachers here he was grabbed by the neck and then shoved. He ran straight out of the class to the principal's office he was seen by the nurse. And put ice packs on the red mark on his neck. This happened at approximately 10 a.m. He was then forced to spend the rest of the day in the same classroom I never got a phone call home I didn't find out what happened until he came home from school around 430 from the after school program and he told me what happened I went immediately down to the school and Mr Jones stood up for the teacher!!!! I then went to the police department they refuse to write a police report or do anything because there was no mark on my son an he didnt have to go to hospital! !!! Of course the mark wasn't still there because this happened in the morning if you care about your kids keep them away from here the only good thing about this school is the amazing staff at the after school program.

If your child needs a 504 plan this might not be the best school to go to. My child. Has an…read moreannotated medical need for a 504 plan ,yet the teacher just gets frustrated and instead of getting him help from the counselor or other behavioral therapists that may help him ,she just sends him to the office for every little thing because she doesn't have the patience . So she sends him to the office where he misses hours of valuable class time. Not only that whenever you email the teacher, you won't even get a response. It's very unprofessional for a teacher to not even respond to you when you're trying to check on your child and how he is being helped in the classroom. I feel that staff here were not properly trained on how to use strategies provided in a 504 plan that will better accommodate your child.. Not only that the Think TOGETHER staff at Bear Valley elementary school are very unprofessional as well. They believe every little thing the kids tell them without even having proof ,and will even try to tell your personal business in front of a long line of other parents. I do not appreciate the school staff nor THINK TOGETHER staff at this location .very unpleasant experiences for my child unfortunately.
