Marching on..

March is here and it's time to start finding out about high school. It's the strangest thing to me to not know where or what to do about high school. The pressure to make a decision that I can't make because nobody has gotten back to me is super frustrating.

Here's the run down:
Applied at 2 private school, neither of which I can afford to send my child too. Keeping my fingers crossed that one or both will say yes and give me lots and lots of financial assistance. Now here's the kicker...one school definately has a much better rep than the other but my little sporty spice may not be able to play sports all 4 years at that school and since we will be tapped out paying tuition she won't be able to continue to play competitive sports outside of school.
One school will give us an snswer this weekend, one we won't find out until middle to late april.
In the middle of all this, I have turned in a lottery request for a charter high school that is on the way to my work from our house. It would be convenient and I believe that she will be successful there, but it's a brand new charter school (converting from an established public high school) and we are waiting and waiting for a timeline on the lottery. This is totally unknown when they will get around to enrollment. I have emailed and left messages and no response. It's super frustrating. Not one returned phone call does not sit well with me.
I also applied for a transfer to a local(to my work) public high school. Good school, relatively safe as far as public goes and close to work. I missed their freshman orientation, which sucks, but I know many people who's kids are attending this school and they have many positive things to say. I did email the principal, but once again, no response to my email.
on April 1st I'll be able to request a transfer out of my district to another public school. I did email a vice principal at our local HS to find out about a freshman orientation, information on the school etc. and NO return phone call.

I'd love to say the non responsive public high school are just because their public, but in all fairness I left a message for one of the private schools to check on some paperwork and NEVER receive a return phone call or email either. Eventually their list was updated online and my question was answered but I was never told to check online.

This whole process is SUPER FRUSTRATING. I can only hope that whatever happens it will be fine for tay. She will get the grades she needs to go to USD, her preferred school as of today LOL.
