Eureka! Local Elementary School Might Be A Go

So the weight on our shoulders for the last few weeks has been where the boys would be in school next year. C.J., at least, can't stay where he is but we aren't guaranteed a slot in any of the charter's schools to which we've applied. I have been envisioning a summer spent trying to sell the house and scrambling to figure out where to move.

Our original in-boundary school closed this year, which is a good thing, and I finally went on-line today to figure out what our new school is. It turns out that our new school is Burroughs, which is one of only 5 fully accredited schools in the district (all the others are in NW). It looks pretty impressive - nationally accredited teachers, great extra programs for kids in architecture, French, and more. They have been making AYP (the high stakes testing) so are doing something right.

I sent the principal an email and heard back immediately, always a bonus. I'll meet with her next week to see how viable an option it is. This would be a huge relief so we're keeping our fingers crossed!
