Vineyards Elementary School

I got my daughter in the Vineyards on school choice.

BIG Mistake. This school has been a nightmare.

I have withdrawn my daughter just after 2 months of her being in this school.

My daughter has had her pants pulled down in class by a boy hiding underneath the table.

My daughter has been bullied and punched by not one but two different boys.

I asked the teacher to move my daughter after the first incident to NO avail. She did not.

I had to ask a couple of times and in each time the punching would continue. The teachers excuse?

She was waiting on getting name tags for the tables laminated! She really did not seem concerned at all.

My daughter said this teacher has yelled in her face.

This teacher had refused to let my daughter go to the bathroom when she really had to go, the first time that she

ever asked. She also refused to let my daughter go to the nurse when my daughter was sick the very first time

that she had asked. (so this was NOT a habit.)

I had called the vice principal Mr. Kirk , left my name & #'s he never called my back.HE NEVER CALLED BACK.

When this continued i finally made myself known in his office and he didn't seem like he wanted to deal w/ me or

the problem at hand.

My daughter was a "fill-in" she was thrown into a class being the only white child in a room full of hispanic kids,

with the teacher being spanish and Bi-lingual, which my daughter stated that she would speak in spanish in class

when these children spoke english.

The school did not ratio the class rooms very good, as boys to girls and by race, in other classes there are way more

white kids, but in this class there are all hispanic.

My daughter went to preschool with another girl who was supposed to be in her class and was pulled out at the last

minute with the parents wondering why, But after talking with the mother , she was told by another parent that she

should "keep her mouth shut, that this teacher is the worst kg teacher out of all of them." This mother also stated that her older daughter was bullied to the point where the boy was putting his hands on her & pushing her, and again this

office did not want to do anything about it. You have to really threaten to get anything done when it comes to this problem, they state they are Anti bullying , but they are not.

My daughter was happy when she found out i pulled her and put her in her zoned school, b/c two other kids had been

giving her problems as well.

I found this front office staff at this school to be less then friendly.
