The building should be shut down completely until renovations are complete. When in 1st grade my sons classroom door was always shut all the way but only an adult could pull that thing open it was SO defective. What happens in an emergency? The teachers I’ve experienced aren’t very attentive at all....

Building is being replaced. The staff is extremely dedicated. The diversity at this school and parent involvement is what makes it thrive.
