High School Back-to-School Night

There was a big meeting last night in the gym before we parents headed out to a full-blown class schedule, complete with bells, to meet all our kids' teachers. 7-minute passing, 5 minutes per class. The Principal warned us as we left the meeting, "If you skip any classes, your child will be notified immediately via telephone." Haha.

Between the talk in the halls and the behavior in the classrooms, you could tell everyone was reliving their old high school days. Very amusing.

Before 1st period, we saw Jim and Janeen in the hall, and I realized I had forgotten to bring a pen. Jim proudly showed me he was prepared with a pencil. Lawyers. He probably always had a pencil for debate class, too. :p

First period Geometry, Jeff and I got there just before the bell and whined about having to sit up front with the nerds. lol.

2nd period World Geography is one of those awesome classes taught by a football coach. Love it.

Third period English, someone was tardy and had to stand in the back of the room.

Fourth period Business Computer Science, four people were in the wrong class and we made fun of them as they left.

Once we looked lost in the hall and upperclassmen parents offered to help us. OR were they going to send us to a fake building across campus? HMMM...

Sixth period Spanish II was my favorite teacher, although when he greeted us with something way more complicated than "Bienvenidos," I went blank. That's okay because I'm pretty sure the guy who came in after us responded, "Aloha."

Seventh period Biology a guy's phone rang and the teacher said she was going to take it up and he could have it back in two days.

We skipped 8th period Band to miss the horrendous traffic. No calls from the principal... yet.

Ooh. We should have tested the "No PDA" rule!
