This School is disgusting. I received a phone call because my daughter went to school with shoes that had hearts on it. I told the receptionist to send my daughter home, as I have seen girls walk around the school in high heels, but my daughter can't wear sneakers with hearts. The receptionist then decided to LIE TO MY DAUGHTER and tell him I said to walk home and change and walk back to school. Needless to say my daughter does not go here anymore, you can't trust the staff to be honest even on small issues let alone anything else.
