Her third grade teacher, Mrs. Meuse, would constantly pick on her over oblivious stuff. The teacher even wouldn't sometimes let them use the bathroom. In her 4th grade year, someone made a complaint that she was BULLYING someone. And I know my daughter, she wouldn't bully someone or do anything like that. She's a shy, but outgoing girl. Whilst this whole situation, the principals would not let her have her opportunity to speak about the incident. And, don't even get me started about her 5th grade year. She got bullied the most in that year, THE WHOLE YEAR. By 5 girls, and the principals saw it. But, wanna know what they did? Nothing! This school is HORRIBLE, do NOT enroll your kids here.

This school is wonderful. Parking and pick up can be frustrating sometimes but that's on the lazy parents who do not want to park appropriately and walk a few feet to pick up their children. The staff tho is amazing I've never had any issues or back talk or rudeness from anyone. If my kid wasn't feeling well they would call me immediately. If my kid had an issue with another child they would call me and explain the situation or I could easily text the teacher and she would handle it. The teachers seemed very interested in my kids education as both of them also require IEP for speech delay and autism. I just felt really heard with any concerns and they show genuine interest in my kids me tal well being as well as education I hope they can stay here instead of starting at another school. The other two options don't look very good.

One teacher I would especially love to recognize is Miss Langman. She is one of the most professional yet fun teachers around. If I was in elementary school, I would want her as my teacher and if I had a kid, I would want her as my kids teacher. She always makes it a fun experience with singing and dancing, even connecting songs and dances to lessons to help the kiddos remember, but also keeps it grounded by doing meditations and affirmations with the kids. She maintains an amazing patience with her kids and always lends a helping hand when teaching. She loves each and every kid and those kids love her. Seeing them grow up and go through different grades and still getting excited to see Miss Langman in the halls is truly heartwarming. Everyone across the school knows her for her hard work, dedication, and just in general brightness. Kids from other kindergarten classes even love coming into her room. She truly pours her heart and soul into this school and these kiddos and it shines through in everything she does each and every day. I truly cannot express enough how much of an amazing teacher she is. She makes school fun and makes the kids excited to come in everyday. Thank you Miss Langman for everything you do for this school and thank you to all the other staff as well that make this school such a great and loving environment. I wouldn't want to volunteer anywhere else!! :)

It became clear that children are only accepted if they fit into a very narrow "box" of what the school deems acceptable. What's worse, the principal, Mrs. Bello, actually told me, "Had I known your daughter had autism, I would have never allowed her to go to the school." This statement was not only shocking but deeply hurtful. Every child deserves inclusion, understanding, and respect--values that this school clearly does not uphold.

As my child finishes his last year at Shenker, I thought it was only appropriate to leave a review…read more Moving to Vegas has been challenging in so many areas. Whether it has to do with education or healthcare (both of which were significantly better in Orange County). I enrolled my child at Shenker after talking to all the parents I would meet at the park in my neighborhood who would sing the school's praises. I am happy to say, Shenker lived up to my expectations. My child does not speak English as his primary language, and I was worried about how that would affect him. Also if I might add, I would get unsolicited comments from other educators concerning my refusal to speak English to my child at home. I am an educator ( I have a Masters in education and another Masters in school counseling) and I knew he would pick up English just as I did. Upon meeting with Dr. Sharon, he agreed with my approach concerning my son learning two languages, and put me at ease. My son has greatly improved academically and socially at Shenker. He is so happy to go to school, and everyone in the front office knows his name, as they do with ALL the students that attend their school. Dr. Sharon has truly been a joy to work with, and I see how much he cares for his staff and for his students at school. He knows every student's name and he works with every family to accommodate their needs. I honestly believe this school's success comes from the top down. I want to thank Shenker and Dr. Sharon for giving me peace of mind in the most important aspect of my life; my child's safety and education. Yours truly, Samvel's mom.

**NO STARS** I am…read moreonly adding a start to this review because it is the only way that I can't post my experience! My children and I are new to this school but we've been apart of CCSD for about 4 years now and the 3 weeks of school so far have been the worst experience when it comes to dealing with the office staff! The school we came from worked so efficiently that it is literally giving me aneurysm daily to deal with these people! 1. School starts at 8:00 but they CLOSE AND LOCK the gates at 7:58 every morning! Here's why that is an issue. For one the gates only open at 7:40. So if your closing the gates early your giving SEVEN GRADE LEVELS of children and parents about 18 mins to get on campus and to class. AND THERE IS NO GRACE PERIOD! But here's the catch, you can easily sit in the drop of line to drop your kid off for 5-10 mins because the staff "monitoring" the drop off are doing all but that! So you have parents at the front of the line almost completely getting their kids ready out of the car in the drop of line holding everyone up, and no one is saying anything! But when you sit there for 5 mins because you can't reach the point to safely let your child out of the car, they have no problem knocking on your window telling you to now get out of line, park, and go inside to sign your student in late! Also this morning in particular, since this has happened a few times, I actually walked my kids to school because I've had issues in the drop off line, I told the staff at 7:58 am IN THE OFFICE (and this is after I walked from the closed gate on the south side of the school) that I would not be signing the form because my child was not late and she literally told me "don't worry we'll fill it out for you". I'm sorry but I do not recall signing anything that said if I REFUSED TO SIGN, the front office staff had authority to ignore me and to sign on my behalf! 2. The power trip and condescension. I read other reviews before posting mine about someone who stated they were hung up on multiple times. The first week of school I needed my son's teachers contact information because she was new to the school and hadn't been completely set up so I called the front office. When they initially answered the phone, I was immediately put on hold for more than 5 minutes, which I understood being the first week! HOWEVER I am a parent just as the people in the office are so if I had to wait my turn to be helped once you pick up that phone, I should be helped. I asked for the contact information, the woman who answered the phone directed me to where she believed the information was, and when I told her that I was having no success locating it and requested that she please give it to me. She told me that it was too busy in the office and I would have to hold. She did not ask me did I mind being on hold or if I could hold, she made a statement and immediately threw me on hold before I could respond. Mind you I had already been on hold for over 5 mins waiting my turn and when she picked up the phone she did not truly address my concern! I called back six times before someone else picked up the phone and decided to help me because apparently she must've known that it was me calling back because each one of those calls no one spoke, the phone was picked up, there was no greeting spoken, and it was placed on hold immediately! Additionally, there is an older blonde (white at this point) in the front office that I am almost 100% sure was the Regina George of her time! She will smile and have a chippery tone but what comes out of her face is condescending and rude! Not sure if she was the one that I had the issue over the phone with or if it was the Hispanic lady that is new and doesn't have a clue ‍ but something has to be done! I am in contact with the school district to hopefully make a difference but if someone from the district happens to see this, please run an attendance report for the first 3 weeks of school on every grade! I can almost guarantee the numbers are disgusting because your staff could do better! This is an elementary school NOT a Jr. High, middle, or high school! These children are still reliant on their parents and your making things hard for the parents and penalizing the children in the process!

This review is specifically for the principal, the front secretary, and Mrs Carter 3rd grade…read moreteacher. They 100% do not know what they are doing and just follow an outline for their jobs. When dealing with a student who has behavioral issues the principal here does not listen and think she knows all. The parent can tell these individuals to their face what to do de-escalate the situation, then they look at you, tell you you're wrong, and continue to escalate the situation putting the child in harms way. The secretary will act nice, yet threaten you and the child and when you call her bluff she sits there and does absolutely nothing and will try to retaliate when wanting to get more information on a situation about your child. She will give no info and hang up multiple times all because you did not follow her directions. Now to Mrs. Carter. When a child how has behavioral issues and kids continue to pick on them and the child comes and tells her that this is going on, and she completely ignores it because she doesn't feel like she has to deal with this situation, and also plays favorites in her classroom, is wrong. When the child comes up with a complaint and you know if this behavior from other students is going to escalate the problem, why do you tell the student multiple times to just ignore it? Why does she not talk with the other students at all and only brush off the one student with behavioral issues knowing that others are going to trigger him? Talk about not knowing how to handle a classroom or basically wanting to start a problem in the class because you don't like a certain student in the 3rd grade. Honestly pitiful. Now in no way is the student not at fault because the behaviors that are shown should not happen, but if the student is giving a warning and telling the people that are suppose to be teaching and watching them in the classroom that something is going on for an entire year of school, they are giving these staff members warning that they can't handle it. To brush them off and do nothing at all is not professional at all. All think all 3 of these individuals need to be looked at by the school district. I know it won't happen. I've worked in the school district in the past and they all cover up for each other especially with the teacher shortages going on, but 100% these three do not know how to deal with kids, or parents who also again voice their concern as well as give them the tools that are needed to de-escalate a situation but they go do their own thing and make it worse. Horrible 3 right there so watch out because if anything happens that is not in a teachers manual you're at of luck. They don't know or understand real life situations or how to interact with anyone unless it's in a manual!
