When my child went here in the 2013-19 range the school did nothing for my child. The old principal did not like my husband because of what he brought up about how sick a child should be to go home. Someone was in the office with my child who had a hurt hand and they were sent home. My kid threw up that day three times and she was not sent home! She was sat in the office for 5 minutes to "relax" then was sent back to class with a small cup of water. She stayed in school for the rest of the day and when my husband when to pick her up she once again threw up. I was not called or emailed, I wasn't even told she went down to the office. The safety of our children is hidden here. Even when it came down to injuries my child was never sent home for anything just given a bag of ice and sent back to class. My husband was never emailed about any events either so my child lost the fun she could have had if they emailed the people both marked as parents. There were even times when her friend was punched by a boy in the face and the principal didn't do anything. My child also got spat on and she was told "he didn't mean to do it" and "he just speaks like that." She was also told many times when a boy hit, yelled, or pulled her hair was because "he liked her" and "she said be nicer to him if she wants to get married one day." Kids with learning disabilities were yelled at by the teachers that were supposed to "help them".

I am a parent that has had my children in more than one Martinez Unified elementary school. This is our first year at LJ, we transeffered schools because my oldest wasn't having his needs meet at the other school. I have been so amazed at the attention to detail, and the above and beyond mesures taken by the staff, to make sure my children are as sucsessful as they can be in school and in life. The transition from one school to the other was seemless, and I am so thankful that I made the choice to find something that worked better for my kids. I can't thank the teachers, principal and aides enough for all their help!
