    "This is the first time i have ever wanted to be a volunteer at a school and to be told by the principle that volunteers are not needed at this school. If the Office team would put on educated caps and not Power struggle caps they would see that volunteers would help with the security of the halls, cafeteria, class rooms. Volunteers are needed because that DUMMY is Parent Support, but to not want parent involvement is crazy. The District supports this behavior and they say its the Principles call. If the parents talk to their kids they would hear that classes are over crowded, why move classes into other classes for a book fair and why put the 4th and 5th special ed. kids in classes with the pre-k and k students they are to old to be around these little ones. the cafeteria is out of controll food fights, just fights period. Parents start talking to your kids, start calling the district on this behavior at Whidby kids are disruptive and it hampers the learning of kids that really are their to learn. Whidby was at one time a great school due to the Office Team but when they the Office staff stands in the cafeteria yelling SHUT UP! Whidby needs LEADERSHIP not only PAYCHECK SEEKERS."

    "Has common courtesy from leadership been this low allowing disruptive children to corupt the classroom, standing behing the staff is not at this school the children are disruptive in and out of the classes but are not removed from the school. notices do not go out to parents informing them of the serious offenses. 2 of my children have been mistreated by bullies,neithert i or my husband was notified of the offenses and the principle just basically embrassed the offender and shunned us offf as if it was nothing, she does not know how to communicate with parents not even speak...their educational learning has dropped at whidby.....Teachers need to treated as educators for our children, not as children themselves...you dont reprimend a teacher in front of students that just encourages them to be worse than they already are...not having the leadership team supporting the staff or standing behind them is pitiful....We will not return to this school.....leadership needs to go back to courtesy training because it is lacking...they collected our money for a non existing P.T.O"

    "BY FAR the worst school on the planet!! The most ghetto administration I have ever witnessed all inside a school building. The principle is very snide and passive she is new to the school and she is a terrible leader the school should be shut down do not send you child here the standard of learning is extremely low. The secretary has the worst grammar ever and she is the principals right hand woman. The school can only be as great as its leaders and they are all failures! NO PTO either all the cash was stolen last year SAD!"

    "Whidby's atmosphere has improved so much under the new principal, Ms. Taylor. She is a great supporter of the Montessori program and is the 'breath of fresh air' that the school has needed for a long time."
