Bidwell Elementary School

By far the WORST decision I’ve ever made as a parent. ANYONE can go up and just take any kiddos without signing in at the office, not one yard duty or staff says a word. As far as withdrawing her from school goes I could be ANYONE and they don’t ask who I am they just ask who I’m picking up and to sign her out, heaven forbid I be some parent that’s not legally allowed to pick her up because they would let me no questions asked. The bullying is OUT OF CONTROL! I waited in my car about 15 minutes before school got out and witnessed over 5 different physical acts of violence and bullying not to mention more verbal bullying. I’ve called the office to speak to the principal about bullying concerns that my child was encountering, only to be told that I would be leaving a note for him and he would get a hold of me in a few days. Not only did he never get ahold of me but I was contacted by her teacher who put complete blame on my child who was coming home daily crying. She then continued to say «maybe she’s just pushing what buttons she knows she can get a reaction out of you.» I was astonished. I would’ve given no stars but 1 was the lowest option. I just thought I would for warn parents questioning this school or going through school options.
