Start of School
Although school officially started for us on August 13th with staff orientation, we made several
trips to the school before then to meet with people, to get paperwork completed, to be picked up for rides to different places, etc. The school is located at a good location in terms of bussing, a little south of downtown. The main building is shown in the picture: the downstairs is K to Grade 6, the upstairs is Grades 7 to 12. The school looks pretty peaceful in the picture, but only because the students hadn't arrived yet. Things are a lot more chaotic now!
The first day of school was on August 20th (mostly a fun, kick-off
kind of day) and then classes started on the 21st. I'm teaching 3 computer courses and 2 math courses; Karla's teaching 2 math course and a "Life Skills" course and then busses to the babysitter's to pick up Thomas. I go home with Will and Kate at the end of the day. The kids are enjoying their classes and making friends -- Kate has already been to a birthday party and Will went to a friend's for a sleepover!
