Nothing like waiting until the last minute…

Arghhh! We just got a letter from kindergarten that we won’t find out what Sam’s placement will be, a.m. or p.m., who her teacher is, or even when her first day is, until the end of August! We knew we wouldn’t find out a.m or p.m. for a while, but they aren’t mailing the packets until August 27! That’s insane. We are so lucky we have my parents to watch Sam, but other people are not so lucky. How you are to arrange child care a week before school starts, I have no idea. The kids are having a modified first day, the parents stay and her whole class won’t even be there. I have a feeling it will be only an hour or two, a get acquainted with her teacher and her classroom kind of thing. That will be either Tuesday or Wednesday after Labor Day. One of those days she will be off. Then her first real day, with her whole class, the whole routine, will be Thursday. I am not trying to rush the summer away, but honestly, I am ready to get the ball rolling on kindergarten!
