Since the previous principal left, the environment at this school has unfortunately declined. The new principal, ***, consistently treats the Black children with disrespect and has made remarks that come across as racially biased. This has created an atmosphere that feels unsafe and unfair for my children and others.

When my children first began attending, *** was very welcoming and respectful. Over the years, however, I’ve noticed a steady decline—not only in how the students are treated, but also in how parents are spoken to and respected.

Another serious concern is the conduct of some teachers. From my understanding, teachers have been searching through parents’ social media accounts in order to gather personal information that does not pertain to school matters. I find this invasive, unprofessional, and completely inappropriate.

Overall, what was once a positive school environment has become one that makes both my children and myself feel uncomfortable and disrespected. I truly hope steps are taken to address these issues and restore the respectful, supportive atmosphere that every child and parent deserves.

its safe and a safe place for all individuals lbgtq2sa etc and the accessibility of the school area is I guess somewhat moderate we could use a few more wheelchair access area and then we could use an easier wheelchair access route we do have ramps but they're kind of hard to access because it is very bumpy and I believe there is a curb you really cannot find the front entrance reduce the weird Square shape of the school but it's all right

Our experience has been nothing short of deplorable and dehumanizing. *** is often dismissive, the language used by staff to describe the behaviors of children is unacceptable and the way that black children are OPENLY treated by some of the staff is very concerning. We have reached out to the superintendent and have not received a response so, our next step will be to go to the Board Trustee. I believe this school needs a complete overhaul and the staff, including the principal, need to be educated on how to communicate with (black) parents and children effectively.

I’m listing all of the incidents that I’ve experienced (that I can remember )since the start of my EA journey in late 2017.

On a regular basis I am subjected to: slapping, kicking, punching, pinching, spitting, sworn & screamed at, pushing, foot stomping & head butting.
Occasionally I am subjected to: body slamming, biting, hair pulling & threats
Once I was slapped hard across the face, whipped with a gait belt across the face just below the eye and knocked in the head by a students head

Sadly I’ve witnessed several violent incidents against coworkers & students.
This is physically and mentally exhausting.

Thanks you for collecting our stories and hopefully shedding light on this crisis!

One of the biggest issues with St. Anne’s is how poorly the staff are treated. There’s a clear lack of appreciation for the teachers and support staff who work tirelessly to keep things running. Morale is visibly low, and it’s no surprise—there’s little to no recognition for hard work, and constructive feedback is rarely given.

It often feels like the administration is more concerned with appearances than actually supporting their educators. Decisions are made without involving or even informing the staff, and when problems arise, the blame is quietly pushed onto them rather than addressed properly.

This lack of respect and value for staff directly affects the students. Teachers who feel unsupported can’t give their best, and you can see it in the classroom atmosphere. High turnover has also become a problem, which only adds to the instability.

St. Anne’s needs to seriously reevaluate how it treats the very people who form the backbone of the school. Until then, I can’t recommend it as a place for either students or staff to thrive.

Disappointing experience. Safety concerns don’t always get addressed.. Would not recommend.
