No School for Bella

We heard back from school and Bella will not be admitted until Jan. As a matter of fact, according the administrator I spoke with, Bella was the topic of their last staff meeting. They wondered how they could incorporate her seeing as her class is nearly full. The short answer is that she will have to wait till Jan. The new problem is that since her class is so full, there may not be space for her come Jan. I'm having a hard time understanding this because our registration check for Bella has already been cashed. But according to them they cannot hold a year long space for a student who will only be attending for half a year. Again, the registration fee has already been paid and there isn't a reduced registration fee for half a year so, according to us, we have registered her for the whole year. At any rate, we will wait and see what happens.

They also informed us that this will not advance Bella into the 4 year old class next year. Because she will still only be 3 next fall she will have to be in the same class as this year. We understand that and are fine with it. However, because in Bella will be in preschool for 3 years, that 3rd year she will be allowed to be in the 5 year old preschool class. This class is designed for the young 5 year old that will not quite be 5 for kindergarten. Poor Bella!

Meanwhile, Gaby is off to the races getting ready for school. We have begun explaining to Bella that she will have to wait till after her birthday. Let's hope she understands when it's time to take Gaby to school.
