My child was hit with a water bottle while enrolled in this school and they lied about what actually happened. Then refused to allow him to return to school.

I wanted to share with you all my experiences with Mountain Weat Montessori in case anyone is…read moreconsidering sending their children there... Hello Mountain West Montessori community members, I feel compelled to share in full what has been happening at Mountain West Montessori most recently. In regards to the threat of the school. There wasn't one. Police investigated and found at no point was there a threat to the school or the students. How would I know this! I'm the parent of the AP student who was accused of this. The text messages that were shared between the AP student were totally inappropriate from both sides. There were messages alluding to running away within that thread of messages and not once did Mountain West reach out to me or my husband for the safety of my child. Maybe its not their responsibility for the safety of all children after all. The threatening statement that was made towards MWM did not come from my son. Instead it was fabricated by a student who is currently attending MWM and enrolled for next year. You heard that right! The threatening words made towards the school came from a student who shares the same environment as your little ones! This student currently lives VERY close to the school. I have all of the messages from this student and let me tell you there are alot of ALARMING things that were spoken of. He also reached out to my son on multiple occasions that he was home alone and lonely. All of those messages are in the police report if you would like to see them for yourself. I ask myself how this child could imagine some of the violent things he has spoken of? How could he still be allowed in the MWM community with your children? Why didn't MWM exemplify transparency and tell the parent what was going on? Surely they read the messages before making accusations, right? Probably not. Since reading those messages as a mother I was heartbroken and made changes within our home and relationships to build us back up. After being accused of something with no truth really stung! This affected not only my oldest son, but my family as a whole. My innocent Zeo was drug into this as what I can only assume as retaliation. Were they worried I would share the messages? Well I did without hesitation to law enforcement. Ignoring what the teachers might say now after everything that has happened. Zeo loved the environment, the community, and your children. He was doing GREAT for his first ever school year. He would be so excited to tell me what he did in school everyday. I am so proud of him for that! He really surprised me with his willingness to walk into the world so brave at just 5! WOW was my mommy heart so happy for him! I digress. Elezzeo begins to get reports/write ups. Some seemed reasonable and some ridiculous. I mentioned to my husband that I was beginning to get the feeling that someone was targeting Zeo in regards to something my oldest might have said or done. The most recent parent teacher conference solidified my thoughts. Yolanda had nothing nice to say about Zeo at that time and it felt very off. Jessica attended the conference at this time as well and only had positive things to say about Zeo. Elezzeo was hit by another student on May 16th. He has a visible bruise that covers over half of his cheek. When Yolanda brought the report to me it stated that another student punched Zeo because the student wanted to be first in line and Zeo was ahead of him. We discussed the situation, finished the discussion , and I pulled off. I ask Zeo how his day went and he proceeds to tell me that he was hit by the student with his water bottle( we all know what kind of bottle this was as plastics are not recommended in this environment). I think to myself that doesn't line up with what yolanda just told me exactly so I decide to pull back in line to inform Yolanda what Zeo had just told me. Also in hopes that the report would be written up in full truth as I just signed paper work that did not hold the full truth of what unfolded that day. I spoke with Yolanda again and told her "zeo says he was hit by the student with his water bottle not his hand" she states "I did not see that"(eyes wide open). I simply suggested to her that moving forward knowing this student can get aggressive about his place in line we keep a closer eye
