James McGee Elementary School

Posted January 23, 2009

I too have concerns for the lack of leadership and the customer service etiquette of the front office. The inability to make visitors feel welcome is a reflection of the principal. The school board needs to be aware of inadequate professionalism of these staff members. until parents step up and make these people accountable for their behavior, it will be assumed they are doing a great job. my children were recommended to switch schools if we didn't agree with how they handled specific matters. Not once did we get called in by the principal expressing her concern about my children. Our children are not perfect, but neither are administrators and staff so collaboration is key in order for our children and schools to be successful.

It is not the school's responsibility to parent children, however, it is the school's responsibility to provide a positive learning environment for all students. When I addressed my concern about the affect of obviously truent kids that were not only bullying the other students (my son included among many others) but disrupting class on a regular basis making it difficult for all of the children to focus; I was politey acknowledged and then blatently ignored. This principal has a lot to learn, pretending a problem does not exist will not make it go away.

My son no longer attends this school. The principal basically allowed my son to be bullied for 2 years and knew it was going on and would do nothing. We are not the only parents who have pulled their child due to bullying. Also, our son was not doing any in class work for over 2 months and the teacher didnt think it was a big enough issue to fill us in on what was going on even though we had daily contact with her. My honest opinion is that if you want your child to attend a school where the prinicpal and the staff care about your childs well being and their learning McGee is NOT the place to send your child. Find another school!!!
