Our child was neglected on 3 occasions during his first 2 weeks! He was 9 y old back then. We moved in the Reston area in the middle of the school year. I have met teachers and they seemed nice. But in reality... I paid for his lunch at that very first day, but our son got no food for the whole first week. Bus driver was careless when he didn't bring our boy back home, at the office they just simply forgot to call me to tell that our child was lost in the school. And at last on one of his days in school he got headache. Nurse were keep sending our son back to classroom without addressing the issue, until he threw up in the corridor on the way back to the classroom, nobody cared about his complains till that moment. Principle did call with apologies, but I'm so happy that we bought a house in another school area! The worse experience in our life was over! If you care about your child - don't send it to Lake Anne Elementary School! Close Quote
