  • Honestly, John Harvard has been pretty solid with the health stuff this year. The classrooms usually look and smell clean when I'm there for drop-off, and the office is really quick about calling if my son looks even a little under the weather. I appreciate that they actually stick to the '24-hour fever free' rule because it keeps the nastier bugs from spreading through the whole grade. My only gripe is I wish they’d give us a bit more heads-up when there’s a breakout of something like strep in the classroom, but overall, the staff really seems to care about keeping the kids healthy and active.
