pre-school registration

It occurred to me this week that it must be around registration time for school.  I asked Teoman's teachers and they said,

"Oh yea, we're past that deadline."

WHATT?!?

I was pretty sure that the "deadline" was flexible for employees - but I couldn't help wonder why no one breathed a word about it earlier.  What did I miss?

I contacted the registration office and filled in some basic info.  It wasn't a problem - and she was added to the list, along with our names, jobs, phone numbers, ID numbers, etc.  I received an email that afternoon that there was a MANDATORY school tour at 5:30pm.  I read the email at 5:45pm.   

AGHH!  

The email was pretty clear that there was so skipping of this tour and anyone who wanted their child to attend our school, had to attend this tour and learn the school's vision.  

The private school is funny that way - putting many demands and expectation on parents -parents who are probably used to putting demands and expectations on others.  They are quite unbending in their words - but I was told the next day it was no problem, my name was on the list.  

And so, the process has begun for child #2 to enter the private education system.  It feels pretty exciting.
