Posted February 25, 2008

We (kids and parents) had adjusting to do, going from the Primary to the Intermediate school. There has been difficulty with respect to the principal and a couple of the teachers, with communication. Superintendent Steven Dooley has helped with that; however, I still feel that there are still issues on that end. Overall, I would hope the effort would be made on parent-school communication, and respect for conservative beliefs.
