Open Quote well i can never get in touch with the school right away and that is sad. with my son's school, i have no problem at all. my daughter was supposed to have fabulous friday with her parent at the school. i needed to know the time and could not get in touch with no one right away and that is not good at all. my daughter will be sad if i do not come and it is not my fault because no one at the office picked up the phone.
