  • Honestly, I’m pretty frustrated with how things are going at Hayt lately. My kid is in a class that feels way too crowded, and when one kid gets a sniffle, the whole room catches it because they’re practically sitting on top of each other. The building is older and you can really tell—the ventilation feels non-existent in some of the hallways. Communication about when bugs are going around is hit or miss, and I feel like I'm constantly guessing if it's safe to send my daughter back. For a school in Edgewater, I expected a lot more focus on basic cleanliness and keeping the germs down. It feels like they are just stretched too thin to actually care about the wellness side of things.
