This school deserves better leadership. My daughter had her haircut and was drug across the floor by the same teacher, all within a week. No internal report was filed for either incident and the teacher remains employed (I see you Ms. Kim). We were not informed of either incident. Instead, our daughter brought home a ziplock bag of her hair and another parent told my wife that they witnessed her being drug across the floor by the arm.
We had a meeting with the principal and vice principal to discuss the hair cutting (was not aware of the dragging across the floor at the time). Both individuals blew my wife and I off and made it out to be our daughter's fault.
This school is a poor excuse for an institution and everyone involved in this fiasco should be ashamed of themselves. These are the only two incidents that my wife and I are aware of, WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON. They make a big deal to lock down the school from the outside, but the real problem is ON THE INSIDE.

The individual attention and the social aspects of the IB learning concept. Teachers are excellent! The principal and superintendent are extremely knowledgeable regarding the learning concept and are "walk around" to "see what's going on" administrators - which is refreshing and excellent role modeling.
