Felida Elementary School

Posted January 18, 2009

As I single parent, I have to sharply dispute the two 2008 reviews here. I'm sorry to hear of their experiences, but they do not at all agree with mine. Both I and my ex receive invitations to all events. The only hitch we run into is that many notifications come as part of a 'parent pack' on Fridays. Unfortunately, this can mean that whichever parent got her that Friday is the one that got the notice. The only way around this would be limiting notification to email (but not everyone has email) or USPS (and that gets very expensive). It is not the school's fault that my daughter's parents couldn't live together anymore, and, while I expect them to make *reasonable* accommodations, they only have just so much budget or time. I have not found any of my single parent or dual home hassles to be due to school attitude.

Thank you last parent for speaking out! I too, found this school to be non-compliant with a 2 house-hold family. I felt so left out as a father! It was sad when I saw my son, that I did not know of what was going on for his school did not supply 2 copies of the agenda. I would agree the staff is selective with whom they will speak with and why they would acknowledge them. I would research the schools in your area.

Felida is a very snobby school that the staff and teachers decide if they would like to relay info to you or not! My experience is very low of parent/teacher/principle interaction. Single parents beware of being accepted and recognized!

One of the nicest schools in Vancouver. Very active PTA and parents that really get involved!
