And I really don't want to hide it....
Last Spring we found out that Elijah was on the waiting list after a lottery drawing for our local charter school. All summer I emailed back and forth with the office seeing if had moved up. He was originally 16th, then moved up to 13th, and then he was 5th... and then 6th. Not sure if the last was an oversight or what, but whatever This morning, we got the call that he is IN!!! School starts next week, so we were right under the line there. We had him enrolled in his district school of course, but we REALLLY wanted him at CFCI.
I filled out the paper work and after a crazy weirdness with his other school (they couldn't find his immunization records that I just dropped off LAST WEEK!) and a quick trip to the doc's for a copy of the immunization records, he is enrolled and ready to roll.
He would, of course, been fine anywhere, but this school goes through middle school AND Grace now has a spot that will be held for her as well. I just really think that he will flourish in this atmosphere. The classes are small and everything is really tailored to each individual child. He will have the same teacher for the first two years he is there as well.
So this weekend, which is already full with birthday parties and a baby shower I am throwing, will also include supply shopping. His other school had 4 things on their list.... this school has about 15 (none of which are the same... alas!) No biggie though. I'm happy to do it! We attend Open House on Friday and my little guy starts kindergarten next Tuesday! It's totally bittersweet, but also amazing and great! He's going to knock 'em dead!!!
