Last week we got Audrey registered for Kindergarten. She got into full-day at Hoover School. It's the farthest Melrose school from our house, but that's still only 1.5 miles away. Next year she'll have equal chance with everyone else to try to get into 1st grade at the Roosevelt School two blocks from home. And you never know, maybe someone will withdraw and she'll still get to go to Roosevelt this year.
But we still hadn't figured out what to do with Charlotte. It turns out the Melrose school district has a very well-regarded early childhood program. Carol went for a visit this morning and they had one spot left for their Mon-Wed-Fri 9:00-12:00 class. All of a sudden our Charlotte school quandary is solved. Both girls have declared that they love their schools (having only seen the buildings).
Now the big question: what will Carol do with 9 hours to herself every week? My suggestion: relax and savor the peace and quiet. I have immense respect for the difficulty of Carol's job and for how fantastically she performs it. This is going to a be a well-earned break.
