Sierra 2-8 School 5801 South Del Moral Boulevard, Tucson, AZ 85706

"Principal is very welcoming stands in front of the school every morning and greets everyone, female assistant principal is welcoming as well. Haven't had interactions with the male assistant principal. Front office staff is the worst, when I registered my daughter we walked in didn't get greeted or helped for 3 minutes because they were busy talking amongst each other, registration wasn't packed, there honestly was no reason for me to stand around 3 minutes with the staff repeatedly looking at me during their conversation, when I did actually get acknowledged by one of the ladies she had attitude but I remained nice because I didn't see the point in being rude back. While I was registering I saw the same happen to a few other parents. I had a feeling that when school started they weren't going to be any better than the treatment they gave during registration. School starts at 8:35 however the whistle gets blown at 8:22-8:25 the kids line up and wait for their teachers to come get them and then they walk around to their classroom. Before I knew that the whistle gets blown about 10 minutes before school actually starting I walked my daughter to the playground thinking they were still out there to find no one out there, I looked at the time and it's 8:23 so now just to get to her class we have to do a complete circle around the school just to get there. Today we got there at 8:22 I wasn't going to have her walk all the way around the school again just to get to class, I entered into the office to take her to the class because they were already lining up, I was stopped by one of the office workers, don't know her name, a Hispanic lady with glasses, her approach could have been a lot better, she asked where I was going or what was I doing with attitude, I dont know if she talks to the students like that or what her problem was but I wasn't taking the rudeness. So I answered her with some attitude as well and told her I was taking her to class, she told me I wasn't allowed on campus and that the students had to go to the field, I told her that we weren't doing that it was 8:25 they're lining up and we're not walking back there for no one to be there and do a circle just to get to class so how do I get her to the class without all that, she repeated the same thing like I was stupid, as I began to explain to her that they are already coming in, she cut me off and started talking about a side gate is how I can get her to class and said let me show you..... Got up walked out the office didn't grab the door for me just kept walking so I know she had a problem, walked to the front of the school and pointed, told me that where all the kids were entering (who looked to be middle school kids) that is the side gate to get her to class. At this point I'm annoyed as can be with her because if she would have shut her mouth approached me more professional and actually listened to what I was getting at then maybe she could have answered this question that is very simple. As I go to respond telling her I understand but, she cuts me off and tells me the principal is right there I can talk to her, so I make my way over to her and the female vice principal, explain my question, and get the simple answer that they open the front gates at a certain time if she is with a parent then we can wait out front otherwise they would send her to playground unless they saw the teachers coming through. I feel that as a receptionist/Secretary/administrative position whatever the front desk lady was she was a complete let down and I hope I seriously don't have to have any type of interaction with her again!!!!!"

"There was always good teachers and the people from the office were always kind and helpful"

"Really appreciated the teachers keeping in contact with as to upcoming test or special projects and events as well as keeping me posted on behavior changes in my kids."

"It just sucks over all"
