Once a week I go through my son's daily binder that he carries to every class and I have found a note or something that I needed to sign and return each time, but no one has ever contacted me to find out why I haven't signed and returned them.

This is the worst school i have ever been to. I wouldn't want any parent's child to go to this school. Our principal does abosolutely nothing.
