Also a couple of my sons friends have covid overall there are a couple 100 kids with coivd currently going to the school and the school doesn't tell the parents about the % of coivd kids in school. also they are minimizing safety for the students by adding more kids to the classroom and the teachers letting kids go outside, and when the group of kids go out side mostly they take off the masks. I highly don't recommend to go to this school.
