For those of you unfamilar w/ costs of mandatory school supplies/fees here..it can run upwards to $150. Tack on another $50 if your child needs a new backpack. So because the start of school coincides w/ DragonCon I like to start early. In july I look for deals on clothes and then each trip to the grocery store I like to buy a little bit of supplies at a time. Well, that is if the school has the supply list ready.
Corey's new school, Brew Tech HS, DOES NOT!!! I called yesterday and was informed the indivdual teachers (which he will have 7 of) will pass out their own supply list the first day of school along w/ the novel of other paperwork that has to be filled out. By the second day of school- Office Depot is running really low on stuff and I have seen people dive for folders/binders (me being one of them).
What this means is I have no clue how much we are talking about (this is HS) and god knows how many stores I will have to visit that first week to get evertyhing. And on top of that, we have at work our BIG audit going on he first 3 days of school (ie.e long hours).
SO yeah, not a good sign that this school is organized so expecting the chaos that resembled last yr.
