Still angry with the school

Hello everyone.
So last week the school failed to pass a message from me to my 10 years old son during school hours. Which meant my son ended up alone on the street ,without knowing where to go and he made his way home (a good 15 min walk) but I wasn't home so he had to go to the neighbours without knowing what was going on. I'm not going into to much detail. I emailed school and sent an email saying we are sorry the staff was too busy and forgot. The thing is I'm still mad and angry . I don't know how to respond to the email. I do want to say that's OK but I want them to know that it isn't OK and I'm just saying it for the sake of it. How do I respond to the email?

You offered him a choice (via the office) at what point did you realise that you hadn't got a response?

Are you assuming the office staff would ring back to say they had passed the message on?

The classes were closed?? There must have been some way of getting in to school to find an adult to get them to check where you were? Surely there is a school reception?

@autienotnaughty yes, because otherwise how would OP know where he was going?

That's not something that happens in a mainstream school. The op would not have expected staff to confirm the message was passed on.

The UK is hilarious. All this panic about a kid who will be a teenager in less than three years, walking along a street for 15 minutes.

My daughter starting doing short train journeys alone at this age.
