In our neighborhood over the past two years, getting enrolled in the local public elementary school that is in our neighborhood is kind of like trying to get into a much anticipated concert. Kindergarten registration was today, and parents started lining up at 4am to get a number that enabled them to come back and actually register their child for Kindergarten. There are so many young kids in our neighborhood that getting one of the 150 slots open for Kindergarten certainly isn’t a guarantee.
I made it over to the school at 5:50am (way to early to be waiting in line in my opinion), and I was still #79 in line. The school staff handed out numbers at 7am, and then we were allowed to go home for a bit and come back at 9am to actually register according to our assigned number. Sounds complicated for school registration, right?
Anyway, Lyla is enrolled and will officially be a Legacy Labrador. She won’t have to go through the drama that Nina had to go through of being in an overflow school until a spot opened up at our assigned school. Lyla was actually very excited and was happy to tell everyone today that she’ll officially be a Lab in the fall!
AMEN. School registration in our area is beyond silly. Joshua will be a salamander next year, but I too feel like we should be in Princeton with the effort.
