Monocacy Elementary

Let me first start this review by saying I love the staff in the office. They all have great personalities and they do go that extra mile when need be. But the cafeteria staff on the other hand is horrible. In 2013 we found out my son is allergic to milk not lactose intolerant but allergic to milk. I filled out the paper work all is well. But my son has stomach aches, throwing up and was admitted in the hospital. I go to the school put money in his account and tell the lunch attendant he can not have milk is that in his account she says yes. 2014 I go to have lunch with my son, why does my son have pizza? I go to the lunch attendant at the register and tell her about him being allergic to milk again. My son barley eats cafeteria lunch he packs but once in awhile he wants to buy lunch and he should be able to. Today I decide to go have lunch with my son and guess what he brings to the lunch table pizza! I was beside myself I go to the lunch attendant she apologizes and says she saw the allergy pop up but he picked pizza wth he is 7yrs old. I go to the office talk to someone in the office she emails the person in charge of updating kids allergies, walks to the cafeteria with me we look up my sons lunch account and it says allergic to milk, yogurt. The lady in the office was truly worried and did what she could do asap she even left my contact info so I could be contacted. I received a call from the lady who updates our children’s Allergies and She doesn’t seem to realize how important this is my son was in the hospital. His organs were enlarged, they could of shut down. All she can say to me is get a doctors note, why wasn’t I informed about this in 2013 it’s 2015 lady. I ask for the information of the person above her she goes right pass that by apologizing. I don’t want apologies I’m past that point I want results. I have so many Dr bills from blood test just to be told it’s because he is digesting milk somehow. Yeah he was digesting milk at school. I trust these people with my child and what does the cafeteria attendant do who see“s the screen that says allergic to milk, yogurt she lets him get pizza. Not once, not twice three times. I’m not stating anyone’s name because they have a right to privacy but I’m defiantly upset I’ve been more that nice this is serious this is my child’s life. I’m giving one star because of the cafeteria and their incompetence behavior. This is not a reflection of the school and office staff they are wonderful.

WONDERFUL staff and teachers. Always going the extra mile to do fun after/​before school activities.
