My daughter is on her third year here. At first she loved it. We had moved from another state and she absolutely loveddd her Kinder teacher. She made the transition so easy! But last year in 1st grade she started having issues. My daughter started getting buillied. My child is not perfect, I know but It has become so bad now that she is in 2nd grade that when ever something happens, NO ONE wants to listen to my daughters side of the story. She is often dismissed. She comes home crying. She has asked me numerous times to change her class room out of frustration. There are a few of the staff that will over talk my child and dismiss anything she is trying to tell them. There have been altercations where my daughter has been physically assaulted and I was never told about it from staff. But when my daughter falls or hurts herself they inform me right way! My daughter even told me that one parent went up to my child and was yelling at her, these parents had the audacity to tell my child that they spoke with me and that they know my daughter is the bully. The father went on to tell my daughter that he isn't going to allow my child to play with his daughter and that my child is not allowed around his. His daughter put soap on my child while she was washing her hands, then kicked her and ran out. Yet no staff seen this?? or bothered to intervene??? Or even inform me?? Now my daughter is seen as the problem child, the one who starts and finishes everything.
We Love Woodside!! I think the Principal is Great! The teachers are Amazing!! There is such great communication, and they are constantly trying to make learning fun! Both my kids ( K and 3rd Grade) Love going to school and love their teachers!
Not sure if the principle is still Betty Cobbs, but my son went here in first grade. At the time he had endless energy and his class had 27 students in it. So needless to say my son had a very hard time staying focused in this class, but his teacher was as helpful as she could be. Well the boys in the class loved to play things like tag and something my son called army at recess. they would pretend to be in the army and climb things etc. Well one day I got a call saying I needed to come pick him up. long story short, my son had told another kid (jokingly) he had a bomb and that he would bring it to a boys house. mind you they were BOTH saying things like this back and forth, well the kid happened to be of a middle eastern decent so it got blown out of proportion by the parents (My son didnt know anything about race or how the two were connected). Betty Cobbs suspended my son, which ok I kind of get it, it's a first grader but ok whatever. But then upon returning to school she put him on an IEP and told me my son was spoiled, and that he lies, and this is a learned behavior!!! insinuating that I must be a liar (never met me before this incident) and also recommended I have him see a therapist. so end result he didn't come back the next year. Children of high energy dont have a problem, the school system has a problem with not teaching how kids learn. Everyone learns differently, and I found her comments extremely disrespectful, judgmental, and ignorant. would never want him to have another principal like her.
i love the place. even Fridays. I LOVE POPCORN FRIDAYS!
I hate the 5th grade teachers and the principal. There just terrible at their job
