I enjoyed some things about the school. But I remember only a handful of teachers that seemed to care about you doing your best instead of wanting to bo your friend

If your website is any indication of how you operate a school, these children are in real trouble. We know you have a dress code. We just don't know what it is. Here it is, just a couple of weeks before start time and you have no information on the matter. So, I guess our kids will wear what they want and you will be to blame for your lack of communication to the parents. Or maybe you will wait until we have already shopped for their new clothes and then tell us they can't wear them.
