I registered for my son for kindergarten my son met with his teacher and have his testing done. we bought the uniforms, school supplies, and everything then I got email saying they will not be able to accept my son just 2 weeks before school starts. I emailed the superintendent and principal about the issue and they didn' even return to my email. school staff had an irresponsible behavior and the admin team didn't even say sorry about it. Such a disappointment. Close Quote
