(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I did NOT give this school any apples either. What kind of blog is this?
HORRIBLE PRINCIPAL, HORRIBLE DISTRICT.

- This used to be a much better school. The new principal is not 'special needs' friendly. Too quick to file a FINS (for red eyes and being tired) to calling the police and having kids taken away in handcuffs in front of their peers.
Very cold and angry person.

- I did NOT give the school the 5 apples that showed up. DO NOT SEND THEM TO FORT SMITH SCHOOLS IF THEY ARE DISABLED.

- Do not send your child to this school if they are autistic or behavior problem. They will call the police and file felony charges on your disabled child.

(2 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Oh my goodness, I started my first day of 2nd grade at this school, and I had to transfer to Cook Elementary, because they only had one 2nd grade class and it was full. XP
