"In response to the parent who alledged that North Park did not take action in the matter of bullying, it is not true. North Park is a strong community where the children always come first. This is the attitude of the parents, staff and administration. In a situation where your child accuses or is accused of bullying, the staff and prinicipal step in immediately and try to work with the families, the first step being the families communicate together to try and resolve the issue. I feel my children are exceptionally safe from bullying and are being taught in a safe, caring, very nurturing and highly academeic environment"

"I am the parent of a North Park Elementary School Graduate and a current middle school child. We have been associated with the school for eleven years and counting. It is a wonderful, nurturing place which has given my children an excellent education. I think the staff is of the highest quality and have enjoyed interacting with other families at the school. I have always found the staff responsive."

"Coming from CPS into this school has been refreshing on several levels for our child. Not that CPS is bad, just needed more of an academic challenge and additional Science and Social Studies. NPES gives an educational experience that is very round in academics, the arts, PE/Recess and socialization for both student and family. Communication and administrative availability are continuous. Small class size is priceless. The students in my child's class have been nothing but welcoming. On the second day of school my child said "they make be feel like I've been there the whole time". Again, priceless. In this city there are many options for educating children which all come with different environments. We were fortunate to have found good communities within both the CPS school and NPES."

"In response to the most recent post I have to ask why, if the school was so terrible and your children were bullied, did you stay 7 years? As a parent I watched my children flourish for nine years at NPES. They were nurtured academically, creatively and social/emotionally. There was bullying in middle school, like any other school, but I know for a fact that the school did not tolerate nor condone this behavior and measures to punish/modify negative social situations were always addressed with the utmost seriousness. I'm sorry your children were bullied, that is terrible to go through for any parent, but if you'd done your homework, you'd know that it is impossible to change the behavior of the bully and the only recourse you have is to provide your child with the tools; body language, eye contact, words, where-with-all, and intelligence to protect themselves. Bullies prey on kids who are vulnerable and who show fear and they will continue to do this regardless of the punishment, until their victim ceases to be afraid. I hope for the future of your children you will teach them to become strong and fearless individuals and empower them to fight their own battles."

"After 7 years at North Park, regretfully we were forced to remove our children from this school due to the inability of the principal and teachers to address a persistent issue of bullying. We were extremely disappointed with the lack of support for our children who had years of strong academic performance and were known by their peers as well as teachers as very easy-going, well-liked and compliant students. We had several meetings over the school year with the principal and teachers that spanned regarding on-going bullying of both of our children; yet absolutely no constructive action was taken on their part to address the issue. This year we moved our children to another school and the change in both of them is dramatic and positive. Both are much happier in their new school and socially we all feel more accepted by the community since dissension at North Park in the form of voicing ones concerns regarding proved to be an alienating experience and never validated by the principal, teachers or most of the parent community. Overall, it was a disappointing end to a school we entrusted the safety and education of our children, and had invested seven years of our family life."
