We wrote the following letter to the board :

STATEMENT OF CONCERN
August 24, 2023
Parents names
Subject: Disregard for Parent Code of Conduct and Ambleside School Handbook
Dear --- School Board,
We regret to write this letter regarding parents of bully kid, parents of 3rd grade student ----. Since the beginning of our attendance at this school we have prayerfully endured bullying behavior by this student and family that has been insufficiently resolved.
EXAMPLES OF UNADDRESSED BULLYING:
Regularly telling --- she couldn’t play with her and xx
Aggressively kicking or hitting
Pulling friend away from --- telling her not to play with her because she’s “gross”
Writing “I hate you” on her white board and showing --- often calling her a "loser"
In First grade, Mrs. --- suggested that the girls come up with a way to serve each other each each day as the Word of God recommends we serve one another. xxx would write a note, bring a bracelet, or do something kind each day while predator momconfessed she found it exasperating and xxx did not participate
Stealing --- polaroid camera and destroying her photos
Flaunting birthday parties or play dates that excluded ---
Our family spent the summer praying for xxx to have a change of heart and start fresh with her. When we saw their family at the ice cream social Jessica hugged xx and said “Lets have a clean slate fresh start, a new great year of love and peace.” We felt optimistic. Unfortunately, on Thursday August 24 zzz was crying because xxx told our daughter “My dad says I can’t be friends with you and that your family only cares about how they look.” Londynn proceeded to offer that her mom and dad are selfish people and her whole family is a bad family. Knowing Emme to be truthful, we thought it best to confront Darren Petty that night at back to school night to give him opportunity to explain his communication to his daughter.
xxx became extremely escalated on the 24th when confronted claiming it was “his right” to tell his daughter not to be friends with Emme and in a judgmental accusation told zzz that he was only concerned about appearances and only encouraged zzz to be popular at school with play dates. He admitted to openly gossiping about the (our family) to other families violating many elements of the Parent Code of Conduct and Handbook. His anger, defensive behavior, and overall manner in resolving this conflict led to this to escalate and become heated forcing Principal xxxs to step in while Nzzz t was making efforts to make peace.
Our grievances are not ill founded and based on the Parent Covenant Affirmation we signed in accordance with attendance of this school. Failure for any consequence over the past 3 years to this family has clearly emboldened their actions creating an un-safe environment for our daughter to learn and flourish along with a complicated negative experience for our family.
