Horrendous experience im a former student from this school. I was kicked out one day out of…read morenowhere, nobody called me or told me anything to tell me i was dropped from all my classes, the reasoning behind all of that doesnt make sense either, i have been untreated with ADD and Bipolar Ds so i was struggling alot since i was sophomore, they kicked me out as a senior a month before we leave school, my doctor even wrote a letter and told me that their reasoning of kicking me out doesnt make sense because im mentally not okay and that i could sue if i want to. Point is this school only looks at you as an item with price if you are mentally not okay (on medication) please dont attend, they will find every single excuse to kick you out

When I attended this school from 1965 til 1974, & then Morton East til 1978, the Cicero school…read moredistrict was considered one of the best & was the best funded school district in the state. I received a very good education. My parents never had to pay for anything then, & we had excellent educators. When we moved out in 1978 to the far NW suburbs, it was because my dad wanted to get out before the house was worth less then what they paid for it in 1960. Cicero has really hit the skids.

Many things have so much greatly changed from the time my Grandparents moved into the neighborhood to when I taught there. I will always remember our nice principal telling a room full of mostly women teachers who were also brand new to the school that- "at 4 pm no matter what you will drive home and go home." All the women looked at him - like 'why' so I 'gentle and' carefully say- it is for safety- gang related safety not to be out at night in this neighborhood. They were not street smart and just didn't know. The neighborhood changed. As a school though- it is wonderful- 5,000+ kids and they take care of the little ones and are helpful and respectful so much more of the time than other schools I have visited. They have coordinated school plays and open up some to the community. The teacher aids are the best- almost all of them are local and know the kids and what they are going though in their lives. A school is a community!

I'm very grateful with the entire staff for actually showing how much they care for the kids.

My daughter is advanced in learning for her age and that shows how much effort they put into teaching the kids, I have tried other daycares and learning centers and definitely Kids R Our Starts is the best!!

Roosevelt is a joke. Kicking kids out of the school promptly after an after-school program ends,…read moreand not ensuring they're picked up by a parent or guardian. Unacceptable. Just so you all know the paper my fiancé signed was a permission slip for the intramural program and they so slyly slipped in the you are responsible for the welfare of your child part. HOWEVER our daughter was fully aware that she was not to leave the school until I was there to pick her up. My fiancé was just a few minutes late in picking her up (10-15). She was completely unattended with not a person in sight no chaperones no crossing guard no nothing. Anything could've happened to her. What I don't understand is they make this big deal about who is on the emergency pick up cards for the children but how does that even matter if you're just kicking the kid out anybody can come pick them up. Who is there to ensure my child safety? If you cannot ensure the safety of all the children until they are all picked up after a program then that program should not be running. I was also told by the same teacher that if I cannot pick up my daughter before the school closes at 4 PM that she will be kicked out as the school closes by that time and they are no longer responsible for how she gets home or who she gets picked up. It's unbelievable and completely unacceptable just because this is it Naperville or some high-end suburb doesn't mean that our youth should be treated this way we are not dispensable and the safety of our children should be the number one concern no matter what piece of paper is signed because that is what a good institution that works with children does because they understand liability and all the safety hazards out in the world especially in the Cicero community. I guess what makes the situation Even worse is having a Caucasian principal with a doctorate degree who doesn't seem aware of the safety issues in the predominately brown and black community that she serves. I wonder how she would feel if she was in that same incident with her child in our community. Even worse was How Dr.Principal sided with the teacher copped an attitude on the phone, and didn't even hear my fiancé's full concern. He will be scheduling a meeting with her to fully discuss it but i mean who wants to talk to a biased principal who doesn't put the safety of our children first l??! If you don't care about the safety of the children after school then CLOSE the institution or how about NOT have after school programs if you can't be responsible for the youth. Completely appalled and disgusted by the behavior of that teacher and the principal at Roosevelt elementary. Had something happened to my child I would be suing the school. I WILL be complaining about this policy and advocating for change in the CICERO DISTRICT 99.
