Are you for real?

So Nikki's first day of school was today, but it was not a real day. Basically we went to school during the hours she would be there, meet her teacher, filled out some stuff and then went home.

Before I get to into things. We moved twice this summer. Long story short we where lucky enough that the second move put us back in the school district Nikki had been enrolled in back in January. All we had to do was change the elementary school. As far as I knew all of that had taken place.

So we get to her school and find a long line because the parents had to sign in as guests and get a name badge. We get to the window and we are asked 'Do you know what room she is going to?' I said 'No we never got anything from the school.'

No biggie they will just look for her name on the list they have. Well Nikki was not on that list. Panic set in, I told them that she was enrolled at the other school but they told us all the paper work had been transfered here and that I had called her school and was told they had gotten it.

Again no biggie they will look her up in the computer. 'Nikki is in AM kindergarten.' Now I am getting irritated. I had called two weeks ago and asked if she was AM or PM and was told she was PM. So of course I begin to voice my frustration, then she says 'Wait she is still registered at the old school' My jaw just about hit the floor and it took all I had to not use 'fuck' as I was asking what the hell was going on.

Turnes out the same woman who is telling me this now is the person I had been talking to over the summer about Nikki. She told me the paperwork was fine, she told me that Nikki was in PM kindergarten and so on. So instead of saying 'Sorry for the confusion' she says 'Well you never gave us proof of residency so she was sent back.'

THIS WOMAN NEVER TOLD ME THAT I HAD TO GIVE THEM ANYTHING!! Every time I called it was a rush to get me off the phone, like I was being a pain in the ass instead of a parent trying to make sure her child was all set for school.

It was a good thing Rob had gotten his change of address card, so she took a copy and told us she would add Nikki to the PM class list and everything would be okay.

She is so lucky that it turned out this way. I was so upset and ready to speak my mind but I knew better and also that would not have been smart.

So tomorrow is the official first day and I am sad I won't get to see it, but I will be at work by then. Her teacher seems really nice so I hope it all goes well.

I still think it would just be easier if they did all day kindergarten!!
