Good morning and happy Tuesday! Last day of summer vacation here.
Orientation was grueling but good and informative. Classes are set up in 90 minute blocks, 4 classes a day, alternating days. Up and down 3 floors, 4 if you count the basement where PE locker rooms are. 5 minutes between classes, 330 7th graders, 1020 total student population, organization will be absolutely necessary. No way to get from class to locker to next class with 1020 people all moving around, Evan will have to keep and carry everything he needs with him all day, and remember which classes are on which day. Even his lunch times alternate daily.
We did a complete walkthrough of both his A and B days, 15 minute blocks with each class and teacher. It was a long day. But I am glad we did it, he would have been completely lost tomorrow otherwise. It still is going to be confusing as heck for him for a few weeks! He knew someone in each class except for one, so that eased his mind a little.
Have to sort all the supplies out today and get lunch supplies. Have a really great day! Sending big hugs and positive vibes to all!
