I am so glad that my son it's graduating from this school soon, because as time passes I've become very dissatisfied. Just recently I found out that twice in one week he wasn't given lunch. He has dietary restrictions, and ended up not given any lunch at all. When I brought it ti their attention, instead of apologizing, they said he should have spoke up?? Close Quote
