Simply the fact that you are aware it's 0418 means not all is well.

Oh, I don't know; when I worked 1800 to 0600 (and 2200 to 0600 before that), 0418 was pretty good.

We don’t even print report cards anymore, haha. Our parents get an e-mail with a link to their students electronic progress report.

What about those who don't have, or don't care to use the Internet?

He's got bony legs

SHE'S just a puppy. still a little lanky.
she wasn't on a particularly great dog food when we got her. were in the process of switching her to a grain free kibble now.

I understand the value of grain-free kibble, but damn are the doggie farts terrible.

Speaking of farts... Nevermind...

Discretion is the better part of valor.

Yeah, I had plenty of families who didn't have internet connections. Now maybe they have smartphones, but usually their phones would be in service, then out of service. Then they'd have a new phone number. Or they'd move...

I guess my way of doing things was to do as best I could whatever worked for a family, what enabled them to help their child. If that was me mailing something for them, or doing a drop by since their phone was out of service, or helping them fill out forms, that's what we did. I imagine schools do what works for the families they serve.

Gary that sounds like philosophy and farts.

I really shouldn't have looked at the thread about 'trying to figure out how to take shots like this?' and I definitely shouldn't have started reading the comments. Did I need to know about Hot Matilda's expertise? I can't stop laughing, what in the heck does that have to do with photography?! lol I think I'm too tired and silly and need to go to bed. And not think about Matilda who isn't exactly waltzing!! Good night all!

It’s a seasonably 20*F this morning. I don’t think we will hit the freezing mark today.

 

[Dean_Gretsch]

We are a few degrees cooler than you Jon and have a light dusting of snow. Not much of a warmup for us either today, BUT....the beginning of the next week is back to mid 40's!

I mean...winter should feel like winter, right?

I golfed on Christmas Eve last year in shorts. That just doesn't feel right, haha.

Not quite a red herring, but close at this point...less than 1% of our students do not have access to the internet at home. Our community sees easy access to the internet as a basic necessity, and students and families who cannot afford internet access or devices to access the internet can apply for grants to fund them. The 3 students (out of 625) whose parents do not have access to the internet are mailed home a report.

A few years ago, we took a family vacation with the in-laws to DC. It was so warm, the cherry blossoms started to bloom. I have pictures of the Washington Monument, with cherry blossoms out, on Christmas day.
