She's home!

She has lots of stories, and pictures to be developed. I will do my best to update here tomorrow.

Lost badges and checks and socks, oh my!

So apparently, if you have a check for the the Scholarshop (for uniforms), you don't want to send it to the business office, or they will lose it. Now I know. I am not sure what was up with her name badge (which is apparently as big a deal to not have as she was making it to be!), but it is supposed to be taken care of immediately. She does have money available on her name badge swipey-thing, so she should be fine. And she apparently got all her uniform clothing. I hope she got all her red socks- we couldn't find them anywhere here, so I sent her with cash to buy those.

I have to cancel the check for the Scholarshop and send a new one, but she should have everything she needs now. Phew! Hard to advocate from 2000 miles when all you have to go on is a couple of letters!! I found a Yahoo Group for the other parents in her division, and this has helped me deal with her being gone better. It is comforting to hear from other parents who are either doing this for the umpteenth time, or the first time like we are. The moderator was able to tell me exactly who to talk to this morning when I called, and I think that made it much easier.

I am sending out a letter tomorrow- anyone want me to say hello to her from you?!
