Fantastic school with an awesome staff!

The front desk staff is really rude! I had just had our new son and was not able to drive so arranged for my mom to drive and drop off our 5 year old with me. We were late and the front desk lady SCOLDED me in front of teacher, other kids (and mine) and OTHER PARENTS!!! I felt ashamed, but even more upset that this is the way they treat people. To make matters worse, the principal was standing there as this was happening and she said NOTHING!! She needs to grow a backbone and reprimand her staff!
