[blparent] back to school

[melissa R green]

Have you mentioned this to the teacher?
just to gain some ideas or suggestions.
I would make that clear.
they may be able to think of something that you haven't, and may be there 
are other parents that might help out too.
Oh and what about those children with special needs, do they have a bus for 
that.
If so, may be the school could make an exception and let your daughter ride 
on that bus.
I know people make fun of kids on that bus.  But those kids get the last 
laugh especially when its cold and snowy.
Good luck and I am sure that you will find away to be independent and for 
your baby to enjoy her first day of school experiences.
Keep us posted.
Have a blessed day.
Blessings,
Melissa Green and PJ

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.

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?
