What school district is Mcalpine Elementary School part of?
McAlpine Elementary seemed like a really good school at first. My daughters Pre-K teachers are great and I trust them. My son is in an AU classroom and I trust his AU teachers, but recently he came home with 4 bruises that even my son's doctor says looks like finger marks, as if he was restrained to hard. I don't know what happened, all I know is he came home with marks on him and that's not supposed to happen. I think the good teachers at McAlpine should find another school to teach at.
