Wednesday we had The Back to School Fair at Alison's new school. Boy! What a difference from Riverside. Things ran like clockwork at Riverside. We had our forms ahead of time, everything was filled out so that all we needed to do was hand the forms over at the various stations to be reviewed and pay whatever fee was needed. Not at Shady Lane. We got our packet and had to fill out all the forms there, in the gym (it was a good thing that we went early when it really wasn't too crowded).
After filling out all the forms and going from station to station they told us that Alison was missing a shot (one in her DTAP series). This resulted in a small discussion with whoever was manning that table. So after about a half an hour, we leave and get home and then realize that we did not get Alison's school pack. Kris decided to purchase all of the needed school supplies in a pack, but there was no sign directing you where to go to pick them up. So we had to go back.
When we got there we realized they had all the school packs behind the table with all the spirit wear. So apparently we were just supposed to know that was where wee were supposed to go. Kris asked the person at the table about it and she got our pack. She asked the guy who was also there and after giving him our name and Ali's grade, we received out school pack. When we got home I decided to open it up and checck it just to make sure everything was there. When I opened it, the tag said "3rd Grade Boys". When I asked Kris abou tit, she said no, it was supposed to be a girl's pack. This now required a third trip to Shady Lane to get the school pack we should have received in the first place.
So all in all, not a pleasant introduction to our new school.
