Kindergarten

We have picked a kindergarten for Keira. We have her registered at Norris Public Schools. It is out of our district but we filled out an option enrollment form that qualifies her to go to school out of our district. We will find out the middle of March is she is accepted or not.

We were debating between Lincoln Lutheran, Lincoln Christian or Norris for schools. We picked Norris because they are one of the best schools and Dan's friend said her daughter went their and had nothing but nice things to say about that school.

We had to do the option enrollment because we do not live in the school district, which means they can tell us no if they choose (goes before a board and they decide based on a first come first serve bases). The only reason they can tell us no is if that grade fills up. The superintendent said that since she has been there (9 years) they have not turned anybody down for option enrollment. This year they were actually low in numbers for kindergarten enrollment. The siblings are supposed to be grandfathered in, but there is no guarantee for option kids, you have to be there for 2 years before option enrollment siblings are grandfathered in.

Our plan is to move closer, maybe build in the Hickman area. We were thinking about building in The Bridges area or Fallbrook area, but we want to be closer to the school so we don't have to worry about the kids getting into a school.

So, now we are just waiting until March to see whether or not Keira goes to kindergarten at Norris. Talk about a long wait!
