Wow, JJsmom, you are lucky to have such small classes at your school! Our local public school is expecting about 200 students, and last I checked there were only 7 teachers! (I think there will be 8, but that still makes 25 kids/class).

I have been busy trying to contact folks at our school, so we can meet with the teacher, the school nurse, and the food services director. (DS5 has peanut/tree nut/dairy allergies, just to make him even more different!) School doesn't start until after Labor Day, so it's been tough getting hold of people. And though the principal promised hand-picking of the teacher, I still don't know if this has happened, so of course I worry. (And I have heard wonderful things about the teacher he's supposed to get, so I really hope it happens!)
