NOTE FROM SECOND GR TEACHER: ***When the students were called to come to the cafeteria by grade level to get their pictures taken they were also told to bring their picture envelope/order to give to the photographer. Cindy left the room with the other students that were getting their pictures taken. Later, she returned to the classroom with the other students. Today, when I asked her about getting her picture taken and why she didn t give the envelope to the photographer, she said that she didn t know where to go. The students were told by the office staff through the school intercom system to go to the cafeteria and I told the students where to go. She went on to tell me that she went to the gym (instead of the cafeteria) and no one was there to take the pictures. When I asked her why she didn t stay with the other students going to the cafeteria she said she didn t know why. If she would have told me that she didn t get her picture taken, I would have made sure it was taken care of. Her picture order form and check are being sent home today*** RED FLAGS GOING UP. NO ONE SAW HER LEAVE OR RE-JOIN THE GROUP? WHERE WERE ADULTS?

They do not have their act together. #1 They do not know which bus my children take because they have not "heard back from transportation" so I have to transport them to and from myself. (My messages to transportation have not been returned) #2 No idea which room number they are in because absolutely nothing came home with them except a Lunch menu for the month and a permission slip to be signed if one wishes to volunteer. #3 I do not know what hours you are able to drop off and pick up children. (I had to call because again, nothing came home detailing school hours of operation. #4 NO Information on book prices because I assume it is on the website...for those who have computers...and this is where you obtain that info. Again, no information came home with kids. #5 When calling the school and questioning them, you are met with "defensive answers" because they themselves do not know and "How Dare you ask" Now this is just the start of the school year and in the past my experience was that schools knew in advance what schedules were, buses children were to take, prices, and you were sent home an information packet. In this packet I had absolutely all the information I needed.
