Very last elementary school open house today.
They were funneling everyone to the cafeteria for teacher assignments. Team Z, fifth grade family, said to hell with that-they always put transportation sign up in the library and the first week of school walk-in passes are in the STEM lab, let’s get those and let the teacher assignment line go down!
Had a moment of pure panic when his teacher’s name was NOT what we had expected, but the assistant principal was right outside the door and let us know that they have a new 5th grade gifted teacher this year (I swear to god, Z’s class is this school’s equivalent to Defense Against the Dark Arts-they’re either the teacher’s last class at the school or their first class at the school).
New teacher looks younger than me, but she taught for 20 years in New Jersey. She had glitter on for open house. Gave her the info she needed, found the kid’s desk, and headed out.
Got there at 1, out by 1:35.
