My recent experience at McKinley Elementary School has left me with a strong sense of concern. In a letter to Principal Marilu Cano, I detailed a frustrating situation regarding the school's lunch delivery policy. I explained that I dropped off lunch for my daughter at 10:00 a.m., but she never received it and went without a meal.The school's procedure, as explained by the secretary, required me to contact my daughter's teacher on Parent Square for lunch delivery. However, I was unable to reach the teacher, leaving my child hungry. This experience has led me to feel that the system is unreliable and that a child's well-being should not be compromised due to procedural issues. I was disappointed by the school's response, which I felt was a generic message about last year's system, and this has left me with a negative impression of the school's handling of the situation.

I would not send my grandchildren to any other school. The staff at Polk is kind, helpful and always there for you as a parent, grandparent or child. FIVE STARS FOR YOU POLK!!!
