That answers THAT question

I'm not always very patient, so it's not very surprising that I've been eagerly watching for notification of whether my son would be in AM or PM kindergarten, and which teacher he would have, so we could find out if he would be in the same class as one of the two children we know who are going to the same elementary school.

One by one, everyone we knew who would be entering kindergarten in the various local schools found out when their child would be going. One of the supervisors at our daycare informed me on Monday that she had received a bus list, and could tell us his class. She said it didn't indicate AM or PM, but she gave me a teacher name...which was not one of the kindergarten teachers. No big deal, I figured there were some staffing changes...

I was finally able to get ahold of someone at the school today, and asked them to check. She pulled his file, and asked, with a note of surprise "He's going into kindergarten?" I confirmed that yes, he was. She said "We have him going into first grade." Oops. She then chose a class to place him in, and he will be in the same class as one of his friends, so yay for that.

I asked to rearrange my work schedule in the fall so rather than use my 8 cut hours as a day off, I could leave early each day and pick my son up from school. I was given a tentative yes...Not because I might be getting my hours back soon, but with a strong hint that I might be losing more soon. Sigh.

Glad you were able to find out, I get impatient waiting for those little cards in the mail too. I bet they put him in first grade because he is so stinken smart. :)

Imagine my horror of my son entering middle school. We are told nothing. The children will report to the gym to get their class assignments and a supply list will come home with them that afternoon! Simply excellent. I don't even know how to find the lunch menu...Arrrggh!

Maybe they thought your son was extra advanced? I'd take it as a compliment rather than worrying about incompetence. :-)

How strange! It's good you called! And here's hoping your hours don't get cut further.
