Kindergarten

My son is starting Kindergarten this week. The excitement of this momentous event is only slightly dampened by the bill from the doctor's office for his school entrance physical.

Disclosure Documents

With a new school year upon us, it's time to read and sign those ridiculous stacks of disclosure documents (all typed in comic sans font.) As a parent, I love the details I find in these lengthy discourses. For example, I learned last night that Alpine School District is continuing to focus on "academic leering."

Run Quail, Run!

Over the last few months, we have revised QRPS's initial charter school application to more clearly state our school's focus.

MISSION STATEMENT
Quail Run Primary School is an environmentally responsible and multi-sensory learning center that empowers students to be accountable for their own educational journey.


On a light note, I have been having nightmares about red, forty pound quail attacking me. All I can manage to say in the dreams is, "Run Quail, Run!" My husband thinks it's hilarious.

By the way, we just completed our presentation to the Utah State Charter School Board. The final decisions will be made at the end of October 2008. We'll keep you posted!
