Mayfield

I had a very uncomfortable experience with St. Francis of Assisi School, specifically involving the school nurse, Charlotte.I received a call where I was told that my 4-year-old could be viewed as a “potential problem” because of the lunches I send. This was surprising and frustrating, considering I’m simply providing food I know my child will actually eat. The school does not heat meals, and my child does not tolerate cold food well, so I’ve been doing what works for him.Referring to a 4-year-old as a “potential problem” over something like this felt inappropriate and unnecessary. The tone of the interaction came across as dismissive and lacked understanding.I followed up by emailing the Director of Admissions to address the situation, and I did not receive any acknowledgment or apology, which only added to my concern.Overall, the experience left me feeling uncomfortable and questioning whether all families are approached with the same level of patience, respect, and understanding. I hope the school takes a closer look at how concerns are communicated, especially when it involves very young children.
