School Reviews
4 10/10/2025
The children have three minutes to get to class. As in 180 SECONDS to get from one side of the school to the other. They are not allowed to take their bags for lunch. So at lunch, they have 180 SECONDS to go to a second location, and then to their classroom. Running is NOT allowed. If an adult cannot physically accomplish that task, our children obviously cannot. I'm not leaving my name. If you question anything I just wrote, ask your child. This is school policy.
