I'm very impressed by the hardworking teachers and hardworking staff. My first impression of the school was the welcoming greeting of the schools administrator/ secretary Mrs Fitzgerald. She answered all my questions and made me feel that this was the right decision for my children's education. I like it so much that I volunteer two days of the week in my daughter classroom. My husband and I feel just as strongly about our children religious education as we do about their academic education. We feel SFR meets both these high standards most assuredly. The principal Mrs Mendez has a noticeable leadership quality that makes me want to be part of the SFR Families that truly care about this school.

After 2.5 years at this school, I am ultimately relieved that my family is no longer part of this…read morecommunity. Prior to our family being asked to leave on January 28, 2025, my children had already completed shadow days at neighboring schools in early December. While the academics at this school are rigorous and they pride themselves on being a year ahead, the workload had become increasingly stressful for my oldest child. I began to feel that the expectations were no longer a healthy fit for her, and paying for outside academic support on top of tuition was not something our family could continue long-term. I would like to sincerely thank the families who reached out to us with genuine concern during this time. Several people contacted Mrs. Ossa and Fr. Richard to express their concern regarding how our situation was handled, and that support meant so much. Unfortunately, the reason our family was asked to leave, was due to a rumor created by two mothers . According to Mrs. Ossa, it was claimed that I had spread this rumor to other families. When I challenged the accusation on the Band app, (not mentioning what the rumor was) many parents surprised and said they had not heard of any rumor. What is especially concerning is that before this rumor was ever brought to administration, I had already informed Mrs. Ossa that I had heard two individuals were attempting to start a rumor involving me. Despite that conversation, no action was taken at the time. For clarity, I never accused nor implied that any individual was involved in an inappropriate relationship with a married man. In fact, weeks before the accusation surfaced, one of the mothers involved had asked me to support her in a custody matter regarding her child. I was initially under the impression that she was asking for a character reference letter. However, the request later changed to providing a statement against her ex-husband in court. I declined to participate in that. Shortly after, the allegation against me was reported to the school. When administration contacted me about the accusation, I firmly denied it and reminded them that I had previously brought concerns about this rumor to their attention. Despite this, my family was given three business days to remove our children from the school. This situation was extremely stressful and unfair to my children. They are kind, caring students who had no behavioral issues. While the experience was painful, I had already begun to recognize that this academic environment was not the right fit for my children. What made the transition even more stressful was that when other schools contacted the administration for recommendations in the middle of the school year, the feedback provided created additional challenges for our family. My goal has always been to provide my children with the same Christ-centered education that I experienced growing up. Unfortunately, this experience with the administration deeply shook that trust. As for those mothers, you know who you are, and you are despicable. Though time has passed, I am still appalled that my family was asked to leave on a lie you created. It is terrible that refusing to do something, resulted in your vengeance. You made this rumor up knowing it could have had damaging consequences for the mentioned family. I am sharing this now because I always intended to speak openly about what happened so other families can make informed decisions about the environment they are placing their children in. Despite everything that happened, I remain hopeful that schools rooted in faith can lead with fairness, compassion, and integrity.

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.
