I do not like that we ( the parents) can't call in and excuse a child from being sick or not being in school that day. It is awful going in that parking lot in the morning to drop off the letter as to why my child will not be in school. I work just up the road but didn't get to work until 7:30 am the time that I start work because I had to go through the loop to go out of the parking lot in the morning. Please change the policy for working parents that can't do the drop off early in the morning.
