I recently moved my children out of the school district. The way I see it the school can only do so much on it's own. What I noticed was a complete lack of parent involvement. Dont get me wrong, there are some concerened parents in district 187, but not nearly enough to make a difference

I am a parent who has been sending my chid to this school for all three years. The school tries so hard to keep it safe that it's boring. And Tony Brooks is a horrible principal.

It is a good school for all children in junior high.

Please Help. We as a community as well as parents cannot keep allowing our lives to completely turned upside down when it comes to our children and our schools. We have the right to keep bars, dope dealers, strip clubs, among other things out of our town, so we need the right to voice our opinion about what goes on in our schools, our police have to live in the community to be police officers, but we did not have the right to say that our children are not getting a good nor fair chance to an education, we can get the news media to come out when we complain that they are unfair, but they will not come out when our kids are being treated like animals if not worst. We have to do something before we loose all the homeowners, law abiding citizen, the police who care about community, and all the good people of all colors, ethnic backgrounds, and etc as long as they bring good to the community. 1) If a student has failing grades he/she is suspended for 5 days. 2) If a student has three tardy he/she is suspended for 5 day. (Even if you have already been suspended for tardy they do not go away, the school just keeps adding on to the ones you have already been suspended for Example: your child has been out on suspension for five days already for five tardy, the same day he/she goes back, he/she get a tardy at last hour, so now your child is suspended again for another five days instead of he/she just having one tardy they now have six) 3) It is okay for teachers to call our children names but our children get suspended for replying to comments made by the teachers. 4) Our children can be punished for things they are accused of doing even when not at school nor on school property. 5) When follow students witness a problem they are not allowed to tell their side of what they saw and/or heard. 6) Employees may discus problems about your child with others not employed by the school district such as other parents and/or other students.
