To whom it may concern;

Teresa Craig, Teri Paszotta and Amanda Gronager all went to

meet with Mrs. Perez, Principal at Ramblewood Elementary

School regarding chaotic and disruptive behavior, along with

disturbing situations that have been going on in Mrs Towerys

kindergarten classroom all year that were reported and never

resolved.

Teresa went in early, as she was the room mother for the day

and informed Mrs. Perez that there were several mothers

concerned and wanted to meet with her at 10:30 today,

(Thursday, March, 7th

) and Mrs. Perezs response was to brush

her off and let her know that she does not meet with groups ofparents, District Rules and that each of us can make an

appointment. After giving Teresa the run-around, she finally

agreed to a 10:30 appointment.

At 10:30, the three of us showed up to speak with Mrs. Perez

and when asking for her, Amanda, very upset that she had

already met with Mrs. Perez and got absolutely no results, said,

We are here to talk to her and we are all going back because

obviously the one on one appointments did not go anywhere.

The staff continued telling us only one person could go back at


2/3

a time and that would be Teresa, who had the 10:30

appointment, and we all stood in the lobby refusing to go back.

Mrs. Perez came to the front and once again aggressively stated

that district policy did not allow her to meet with groups of

parents. She then pointed at Teresa and said This one has the

appointment. Amanda said, No, we are all going back

because I already had a one on one with you and NOTHING got

resolved.

Mrs. Perez continued to raise her voice, and said NO, youre

not. If YOU want an appointment YOU make an appointment.

She then pointed at Teresa and yelled YOU are the only one

with the appointment. YOU, IN MY OFFICE, NOW!, with her

finger in Teresas face.

Mrs. Perez then turned to Teri Paszotta and Amanda Gronager

and once again yelled If you want an appointment you can

make one. Teresa went up to Mrs Perez and respectfully kept

her voice lowered while she stated With all due respect, I feel

that you are talking to me like a child at this school, and

because of that, I no longer wish to speak with you, I would

rather speak to someone above you. At that point, Mrs. Perez

pointed at Amanda and said, Fine! You want her

appointment?! Teri, Teresa, and Amanda all felt at that point

that Mrs. Perez was acting overly aggressive and not in a matter

conducive to finding a solution to a problem or even listening.


3/3

Amanda, Teri, and Teresa were all very disappointed in both

the lack of action taken thus far in a situation that has been

communicated to both Mrs. Perez and Mr. Thornberry multiple

times, by many parents at Ramblewood Elementary, as well as

at the treament given by Mrs. Perez to them. Amanda, Teri, and

Teresa, as well as many other parents at Ramblewood

Elementary now wonder, if Mrs. Perez can so easily be so

aggressive and disrespectful towards parents of the school,

how easily could one person treat children even worse?

We do not wish to pull our children out of Ramblewood

Elementary and cause them further change and upheaval when

they have already been subjected to such stressful situations in

their own kindergarten classroom, however if Mrs. Perez and

the rest of the head administration of Ramblewood Elementarycontinue to handle (or not handle) situations as they repeatedly

have this year, we will be left with no choice.
