Children from my family has attended Vine Elementary school for years and it has always been an…read moreelite school until these past few years. but one thing that bothered me the most was how Mrs Levesque humiliated a staff member from the after school program (RAS) because she made a report to CPS when there was reason to be concerned for a child's safety and well being. I learned that this staff member was fired for contacting CPS, as she is mandated to do. As many know and I, myself knows very well, that ALL school staff members are mandated reporters. One day when I went to pick up my granddaughter I saw Ms. Levesque approach this staff member and a few mins later that staff member came to release my grandkid and saw tears down her cheecks so i asked what was wrong the staff member told me that mrs Levesque had just humiliated her with saying to use this as a lesson to be more professional not only for herself but her staff and to learn to do her job better. I found that very disturbing that the principal would tell her this after this woman had already lost her job and it was her last day at Vine..not professional at all.

Great school with HORRIBLE principle!…read more Mary Wendland runs this position like a politician! I have two kids in this school one first grader boy and one older girl. Just like any boys he is active. Whenever there is physical contact, I get a note from the school even if it's as simple as kids joggling for position when they form a line That said when my boy got pushed down from behind by older kids running in school and scraped up his entire left hand plus nose and another wound 1/2" away from his left eye, I didn't even get notice nor call from the school. When I went to see her the next day, she kept saying that it wasn't her but was her staff. Everything was deferred to her staff even though she is is the leader of the school; certainly not the right response from a leader. I left after getting nothing from her so I went to Walnut Valley Unified School District to see the super Intendant and met the Assistant Super Intendant. Right away she expressed concerns and sympathy and was right on top of it to take care of the problem. Within few hours I got the first ever call (despite all the incidences that happened in the past) from Mary Wenland apologizing about the incident and her staff missing the standard protocols. Wow what a difference it makes when I spoke to her superior!! SMH! Multiple protocols were ignored/missed: 1. Didn't bother to ask why a child is injured and why he was injured 2. Didn't notify the parents or guardians 3. When injuries are sustained above the neck, there should have been a protocol to evaluate the student before sending him or her to the bus or home This is sad because she runs the school like a politician acting all tough all in wrong time and places until it was escalated. When a person puts her own before children's safety, She is certainly not fit to run an education institute in my opinion. I also encourage all Asian parents to speak up due to the nature of Asians being more quiet and reserved. When your kids aren't treated fairly at school don't be afraid to speak up!

We attended here in 1992, and I also graduated in 1993. We had a wonderful Principal too. I cant believe I forgot his name too. But the teachers and staff here at the time were amazing. Campus was nice and clean. Not any nearby places to leave campus and go out to lunch. That was the only downside. The school is prodominantly in a residential area. But we still had fun, and the campus sold good food too, if you wanted lunch of their food on campus. Its just a good school, and I had lots of fun when I attended here.

The good, the bad, and the ugly:…read more The good: The community. The teachers, parents, and students all seem to be insync with providing a good environment for the children. There is a fundraiser every month to improve the quality and materials in the school. API is in the high 800 and more near 900 which is outstanding for a Covina elementary school. It truly is the best of Covina's schools. The bad: Class size is large, students do not get a lot of personal attention. However, they are a public school and the best so its understandable. Teachers are good, but you find a few here and there that you just don't like. The Ugly: The school could use a make-over and a little new paint. The people in the office are usually not the friendliest. They tend to forget that they are providing a service. The district itself is not good at keeping records. Whenever we get our transferred renewed I have to literally stay on top of the process the whole time because our paperwork got lost twice in the past two years. I believe the district has had the same people working these offices for years. They really need to do an assessment and hire some fresh blood that are hungry for work and experience with better people skills.

Full disclosure: I recently retired from Las Palmas and was dismayed by the low rating I saw from…read moreonly two students that rated this school. Now they have that right to give their opinion but where are the thousands of students who had a good experience at Las Palmas? No school is perfect but this school has some amazingly dedicated teachers and staff. I was proud to be part of the faculty there and found the school to promote an uplifting student centered culture. Over the years many student confided in me that they felt safe and valued at Las Palmas middle school. Just the other day one texted me how he's moved to high school but misses Las Palmas. It's a given that school employees are people too and some do better than others at their job. You can't make everyone happy but from my perspective a top notch education, a safe environment and teachers that actually like you should rate highly. I have to say that Las Palmas middle school has fulfilled it's mandate to provide a decent education in a positive environment since I was a student there and through my tenure on that campus. I miss seeing my awesome LP students and my friends who continue to steer the school's culture. Mr H.
