Not sure who is being addresssed in the post "..we met at the pool". And not sure who had what worked out, leading to "confusion". My guess is that this website isn't going to be an adequate forum to address this issue (bullying). How about some ideas? Lets brainstorm a bit (this means we build on one another's ideas, not tear them down, right? - Start a Closed Group in Facebook and send people there from here? - Start an anti-bullying group for Timberline. - Come up with a short list of lawyers to obtain legal advice. - Begin a names list of Parents who wish to work together to support one another AND do what we can to beat the system. - Add your own ideas please...

I believe I know who you are and we met at the pool. I agree with you but how many parents complaints are needed before anything can be done? Thought you had it all worked out. Little confused here :)

The teachers especially the ILC staff are awesome! The principal doesn't care and so bulling has become a problem! I am in agreement about how many complants are needed to get something done!

Please don't send your kids to this school. The Principal is horrific and the system fails. Bullyies are not dealt with and your child will suffer.

We love this school and have had wonderful teachers. The only thing I would like to see change is the principal, she is not at all friendly, makes me wonder why she would want to work at an Elementary school.

This is a wonderful school. They are well advanced in Math as well as other academics. The teachers and staff are friendly and they welcome parent involvement. My son loves the art program there. He never talks about school but he tells me all about art. There are plenty of other extracurricular activities.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Colorado used the Transitional Colorado Assessment Program (TCAP) to test students' skills in reading, writing and mathematics in grades 3 through 10, and in science in grades 5, 8 and 10. The TSAP is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Colorado. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test. The TCAP replaced the CSAP as Colorado's state assessment program effective for the 2011-2012 school year.
