The next school year starts in about seven months, but it feels like it's just around the corner.
We officially registered Edith for kindergarten yesterday. This is a bit more stressful than it seems, since the elementary school we are zoned for gets oversubscribed early. Enroll too late, and you'll be sent to another school. But yesterday was the first day of enrollment, so we're set.
Of course yesterday also had to be a Level One snow emergency in Franklin County. Nevertheless, we bundled up and grabbed the folder full of paperwork -- birth certificate, proof of address, immunization record and the like -- and made our way downtown. The appointment itself was easy peasy.
Her kindergarten is only a few blocks away (not even far enough to qualify for a bus) and starts a half hour later than preschool. If anything, our schedule will be even easier next year. Of course the big difference is that she'll be there a full day -- or the 6.5 hours that counts as a full day in elementary school.
So now Edith is almost a kindergartner, even though we're barely halfway through preschool!
