What school district is Thoreau Demonstration Academy part of?
I loved Thoreau until my son entered into his Spanish class and 9/10 was not let into this class online. My husband and I have reached out multiple times throughout the semester to find out why he's not being let into this vital class. We've emailed, called, left voicemails, we've tried everything except for showing up at the school to speak with someone in person about this situation. My son studies from home due to myself having an autoimmune condition that keeps us all home, so I won't become ill. All I need is for someone at Thoreau to contact me and his father to let us know why he's not being allowed into the classroom. Please and thank you.
