St. Martin Elementary School

10/10 would recommend super nice teachers if there is bullying it will be stoped

It is awesome recommended

This school empowers bullying -despite anti-bullying propaganda it boasts- and it enables willing ignorance and gaslighting towards vulnerable students making outcries for help, to educators. I experienced as well as observed St. Martin’s educators (from 2006-2012) protect prejudice children and families, based on financial wealth and the bias of educators themselves. Bullies protected from consequences were free to target vulnerable children with marginalized social locations (sex orientation and gender identity; ethnicity; beliefs; visible and invisible disabilities; financial wealth of family; and more). St. Martin’s only address’s topics like “racism” and “sexism” and more, for self-validating appropriation purposes. I’ve had children bully me for not getting why girls and boys weren’t allowed to play together in school (as a girl with a fraternal twin brother, I remain confused why teachers encouraged traditional gender roles and gender-separate play??). I had teachers and children bully me for my poor background as well as my abusive/neglectful family, that I had tried to be open and honest about, because I assumed my peers at the time weren’t taught to be aware of the danger their unprovoked bullying was putting me in?! I’ve been bullied and looked down upon by teachers and peers for having sensory issues (ex. Light and sound sensitivity), and for displaying symptoms of adhd that went undiagnosed until I could seek answers in adulthood (on that note, St. Martin’s was very eager to label boys with suspected autism and adhd and other invisible differently abled diagnosis’s). I’ve been bullied and looked down upon by peers and teachers for being too candid and being too slow to grasp social norms/social constructs in my early childhood development; the more I tried to adapt and conform and “mask”, the more comfortable peers and adults got with labelling me as fake and a manipulator?!? I was only trying to do my best to fit into social expectations placed upon me, because the consequences of not fitting in at school or at home, always endangered my health/safety/wellbeing/life. Anyways, I had my self image and self confidence routinely destroyed by not only my own family, but educators and bullies and peer’s families as well, who used me to self victimize themselves —my emotional reaction [as a child in my early development stages] to confusing lies and slander that were often made against me was all the proof adults needed to condemn me for being the “real” bully in classes. Educators would often suggest, “why don’t you just calm down and stop reacting”; as if years of unprovoked targeted bullying [based on my vulnerability in life and my social location] was just going to stop by same age peers in early development who got consistently protected from consequences, simply by way of me ‘ignoring them’?? Ive had educators set me up for public shaming to self validate themselves, in similar fashion to same age peers who bullied me before scapegoating me as ‘the problem’. I've had educators and student-educators and same-age bullies steal from me and name call me, such as with names like “disappointment” and “failure” and “just a bad kid” by staff, as well as “dyke”/“ugly girl”/“stupid B***”/“bully” by same age peers. I’ve had toys and supplies stolen from me, and I’ve been set up with being labeled a thief for playing with items I found outside or for trying to return items others had lost. I have had outdoor clothing for winter stolen from off my body by a teacher and one of my bully’s parents who kept me late after school, and I never got an apology and I had to accept the bullies ripped and dirty winter clothes, as my replacement. I recall, even to this day, that I had to walk home as the sun was setting because I was kept so late & my abusive family refused to show up for me; I recall the snow was almost to my thighs, as an elementary student. My legs were so cold when I got home; it hurt a lot both physically and mentally. I’m out of room to say more~

Our family has been discriminated and racially profiled by St. Martin school.

Our kids were interrogated by teachers, our 8 and 11 year old were suspended for going through a family court matter, which the school decided to be involved with.
After that they called the police on my 11 year old son for walking home to his dads house , reporting him as a missing person when they knew fully well his whearbouts, my son was harassed by the principal and vice principal.

My son recently was bullied at school, and put in a head lock almost passing out, and the school didn’t even call me to inform me my son was hurt because they have decided our family doesn’t deserve the same protocols as other children.

No children should be exposed to the authority that has gone to the staffs head at this school.

Our family brought forward complaints of harrassment , bullying and more to the attention of both the school and school board, neither wants to acknowledge or reconcile our concerns.

I had a hard time even putting a 1 star I’d rather put a zero

I'm extremely disappointed with how the bullying is handled at St.Martin School. Disappointed in many ways.
