The PEP group is fantastic. They provide many off-site and on-site activities for students and families to participate in. My experience started off good, but then Dr. Labadie was hired as the principal. She is horrible to the staff, thus teacher morale is low. Most of the teachers are effective, however there are too many students in each class. The teachers do not have support from Dr. Labadie for student misbehavior. The district has cut funding, thus leaving teachers without supplies. I spoke with administration at the board level, however found myself getting no where.
Leadership at the school: Dr. Labadie does not return calls and/or emails. Does not enforce punishment for bad behavior. She was quick to come in and change processes instead of easing into change. Students are disrespectful to her. She rarely follows thru with what she says she will do. As a parent, I do not feel as though she has created a positive learning environment.
Bullying is prevelent in this school.I filed a few complaints with the principal and teachers and had little assistance with coming to a resolution. After years of dealing with Dr. Labadie, I found she is the lead bully which she has repeatedly proven by the way she treats the staff and the students. I found that other districts are taking time train their faculty and staff to effectively work with students to help them better understand and navigate their own mental health by teaching units such as student growth and well-being
