What school district is Eastern Wayne Elementary School part of?
This school is horrible. The staff is not friendly, they are not knowledgeable about the day to day operations of the school and it almost appears that they seem down right lackadaisical . Example : they had early release and they lock the doors. No notes explaining why the doors are locked or what parents should do. You can't ask any questions because they want come to the door. Parents waiting lined up. New parents, grandparents etc, we don't know what to do, no one will give any assistance. Everyone locked inside the office. Teachers and staff not friendly at all.
