Christine Shandler the receptionist is RUDE and doesn't seem to like Punjabi people at all.she should honestly get fired and become a professorial eye roller, since she seems to love doing it so much. also on the registration from we wrote that the main language spoken at home was English. as she reads over the papers she asks us If Punjabi is spoken at home in the rudest tone ever. We respond with "a little" and she goes on to change the main language to Punjabi when its literally English. idk but that seems very racist of her. pls fire her.

The secretary, Christine Shandler, is incredibly rude. Today, I went with my mother to register my younger sister for kindergarten. As we entered, she immediately rolled her eyes before telling us to sit down and wait rather than properly greeting us. She rolled her eyes a few more times as she was reading the paperwork (not sure what she was trying to see at the back of her head). She continually treated us with disrespect and demeaning behaviour asif we weren't able to speak with her properly. This isn't the first time I've witnessed her poor behavior; I went to this elementary school too. Withher ongoing racist behaviour(exhibited towards numerous Punjabi people, regardless of whether or not they speak fluent English) I'm shocked to see that despite the years of her poor behavior, that she has her job. The 1 start review is solely due to her ignorant and racist behavior.

New principal Ryan is not helpful. The receptionist Christine Shandler is the worst ever. No smile, no welcome and she has been in the role for 2 years. She doesnt seem to like her job neither Punjabi parents. There have been so many people who dislike approaching her as she is very rude. If you don't like the job, quit ! All the other school staff and the environment is very nice with few exceptions. The school is great for kids. I would have given 4 rating if not for the management.
