[blparent] back to school

[Sharon Howerton]

Jo Elizabeth, perhaps you will meet other parents who can bring Sarah home.
That was the specific reason that I got involved with school board and other
activities when my sons were in preschool which, at that time, was a 3.5
hour day. An 11:10 dismissal for working parents! Good luck!
That's a long walk for an almost 11 year old dog even on a good day. Keep
your cane with you! My first girl retired at 10.5, and I probably should
have retired her before that.

I'm sending my baby off to kindergarten!  I don't know where the time went!

Tomorrow is Back to School Night, so I'll be seeing the classroom and
meeting the teacher.  I've already been in e-mail contact with her and the
school secretary, letting them know that I would prefer electronic rather
than printed communications.  So far, they seem cooperative.

My only concern right now is that I thought my daughter would be able to
ride the bus, but we're right on the edge, a mile away from school.  Anyone
living less than a mile doesn't get bus services.  So it's looking like I'll
need to walk over there and pick her up each day, and I need to learn the
route.  My worry is that my poor guide dog is nearly eleven and feeling her
age.  So while it shouldn't be too much of a problem in good weather, I may
have a real pickle on my hands when winter comes.

kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at
evening.--Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

Hello, its that time again and depending on where you all live, its back to
school time.  Our kiddos begin on August 16 here in NM, but I heard AZ
already started amonth ago.
Do your children walk, with someone or alone?
Are they just beginning, Pre-school, Kindergarten?
Is this their last year or are they in mid school?
Home schooled, teacher issues?
