Early Out Monday

How many weeks have we been in school?

Monday is Early Out Monday. All classes leave one hour early.
Kindergarten has a tricky schedule for the PM classes. They come one half an hour early and leave one half hour early so I understand that is tricky at the start.

Phone rings, "When do the buses pick up my afternoon kindergartner?" "You back the pick-up time up one half hour." "What?, I don't get it."
Phone rings. "I got to the bus stop and the bus was not there. "
Person walks in late to sign in their child on the orange clipboard, "I forgot today was early Monday!"

Today we had a kindergarten child show up one half early for school so he sat in the office. Guess what? At the end of the 'shortened' day 2 boys came in, no one there to pick them up. I called the home and then the mothers' work. Daycare forgot it was early out day. Here's the sad thing.....the day care lady did not get there to pick them up until school had been out one hour and 20 minutes!
Boys sat a LOOOONG TIME AT THE END OF THE DAY BUT ONE OF THOSE POOR BOYS WHO SAT THERE AND WAITED AT THE END OF THE DAY WAS THE SAME POOR KINDERGARTNER ALSO HAD SAT WITH US AT THE START OF HIS DAY.
