One of the first things the teachers at the building told me today was, "Keep your coat handy." Apparently the school has been having freak "fire drills" all week. The alarm just goes off unexpectedly and since it's not planned, the fire department has to come and walk through the building. Today it went off at 8:30 - right before I'd taken attendance! So I had to count kids and just hope I had them all.
Other interesting thing was at the end of the day. A kid's dad came to pick him up about 10 minutes before the bell rang and when I asked if he'd already checked him out he said no. I told him he had to check him out at the office if he was taking him early. He acted like he thought this was a strange request and informed me, "I'm his dad." I told him that I couldn't let a kid leave unless they'd been checked out. He reluctantly went. I just kept thinking how opposite his reaction would be if I HAD let his kid leave when someone he WASN'T supposed to go with!

That fire alarm thing is a new one. It's strange that they can't figure out what's causing the problem. You're right about the annoyed dad. There is no pleasing some people.
Love you!!! MOM
