School Reviews
3 10/22/2020
I am really disappointed that my daughter''s teacher -whom she loved so much - was not allowed (per some policy) to give the parents of her students any kind of warning about the fact that she was leaving until the DAY she left. We received a letter that day...not the day before or anything... stating she was leaving. That''s it. No warning. So, I had an inconsolable daughter to deal with, and I was completely unprepared because I had no idea myself that her teacher was leaving. I then had to also deal with not knowing who the replacement would be until my daughter (again, the school did not reach out and make me aware of this) told me the teacher''s name. I received NOTHING from the school OR the replacement teacher informing me who was now teaching my child. I heard it from my child. At this point, as a parent, I feel like an afterthought in this situation. Teachers coming and going can definitely be a huge deal to a child, and our children were kept in the dark until the day of. Our Elementary aged children are the ones that have had to keep us in the loop, which is insane. Very very upsetting. Come on Timber Ridge, you can do better.
