4 out of 5….office woman leaves alot to be desired. Mrs. Kelly or Kelly in the Office is very disgruntled….she gives myself and my son a hard time at every turn. He had a Dentist appointment and needed to check out a bit early to make the appointment. I told him just notify the office. She insisted my grown son….(18 yrs old…..can sacrifice his life in this nations military.) have me call and tell them. When he tried explaining his age of 18 makes him an adult…..she tried to tell him..”Your father files for you on his taxes”……NOW WAIT JUST A MINUTE…..what do my financials have to do with a grown mans ability to tell someone when he has to leave early or otherwise? I had to call the School Board and speak to the super attendant….who was appalled at the thought of this woman mentioning a parents financials. The superintendent was great…everything done. So today I asked my son to have my name removed from the automated call list. He is 18 and has been since December. He needs these calls and reminders …on snow days, half days, etc. I dont need to be called at work for simple reminders that are rather frequent…and border on spam. So he goes in the office today to return a book and have the phone thing rearranged. At which point Ms. Kelly or Kelly or Mrs. Kelly starts right off again with refusing to change it. Again my son reminds her of his age and she …AGAIN brings up my taxes and who pays what to who. SORRY PARENTS TAXES ARE OUT OF BOUNDS AND ARE IRRELEVANT TO A RESPECTABLE GROWN MAN CHANGING HIS EMERGENCY CARD INFO. This woman not only sits in the office behind a desk at my sons school…and talks to parents with complete disrespect and an awful nasty tone….NOW …how do you think she is speaking to our kids? The folks in the office need to re-evaluate her position desperately…power trips are not student friendly….these young adults have alot on their plates…and having a young lady treating them badly isnt helpful to attitude or environment…they are turning 18 and being expected to pay taxes, get jobs, enroll for the DRAFT , and be responsible adults. The folks at the schools should be teaching respect, responsibility, and encouraging them to be capable young adults…..THAT DOESNT HAPPEN WHEN YOU TREAT THEM LIKE 7th graders!! If you want these young folks to stay in school speak to them with some mutual respect…AND THE PARENTS….and things will be more comfortable for everyone. Dont sit in that office and talk down to folks and be condescending to parents who call. So again…I called the superintendents office. We spoke about the same things as last time….all is good. My question is…if she is this difficult for the parents and kids to deal with ….over something as simple as changing a few phone numbers around…..one has to wonder how many other road blocks her poor attitude has created for these kids. If he stands up to her in the office and insist she does what he knows should be done without issue….then he gets suspended…so she just talks to them however she sees fit….and the parents too. I will be preparing for a future school board meeting at which point Ms Kelly will be the topic of my time allowed. Unacceptable behavior from an a public employee …who is suppose to be teaching and leading kids in positive, productive manners. My son has excellent attendance..if not perfect…also is A, B Honor Student…and has 2 jobs and pays taxes…he is literally her PEER. She is no more an adult than him. She works no harder than he. She has no moral right…or legal right to be so rude inconsiderate and disrespectful to anyone for any reason. I am hopeful…at least for other parents sake…that the position gets filled with someone who is a social butterfly and that can treat folks in a nice positive manner….that smiles and does what she can to help parents and students alike. Thats what it is suppose to be about. #TEAMWORK #RAISINGTHENEXTGENERATION #KINDNESS #HELPFULNESS #APPRECIATIVE

They have banned teens for absences from attending school functions even with medical disclosure. One student has a life threatening medical problem. What’s up with that? So wrong on many counts! Time to change. Why have a medical form on file if not respected. Very disrespectful of the teens! These kids have good grades too! How do you think the teens feel. They are already fighting an illness they can’t control, and then they are punished for it. Also, I understand this was implemented this year, so do it on a go forward not previous year when the policy was not in effect.

Kearsley is a great school. I transferred in 8th grade from Bentley School District where I was severely bullied and I was depressed.
This school district has great sports, education, and great people.
I was in a confined class in eighth grade due to suicidal thoughts and low test scores my education was 3rd grade. Now I am in high school and have learned everything I needed to. Kearsley is willing to help you and your children. I grew up with no friends and now I have many.
