While Grandma Mindy was visiting for Kylee's baptism we went to Laurel Park Elementary so she could see where the kids go to school. This was the first year for the school to be open. It was renovated out of an existing manufacturing facility. It has a multi-track year-round calendar. The kids go to school for 9 weeks and then are off for 3 weeks with one of their breaks being 4 weeks. I really like the schedule because when the kids are getting tired of school it is time for a break, and when they are getting restless at home it is time for them to go back to school. The school start time is 9:15 and goes to 3:45. My dream schedule since I am not a morning person and it means not having to wake the kids up too early.
Kylee had to go to 2 different schools for the 2 years in North Carolina. Her 1st grade year was at Briarcliff Elementary with a traditional school year and a daily schedule from 8:30-3:15. The Wake County school system likes to change the boundaries often. Our neighborhood attended a different elementary school the year before we got there so the neighborhood kids went to 3 different elementary schools in 3 years. Luckily the Gaspar de Albas were in the same zone as us so we changed together. It was great for the kids to go to school with their cousins for 2 years.
