[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it just me, or does it seem really late when they send the letters with the bus and teacher info?  I heard they won't send them for our school until less than a week from when school starts. [b]I want to know in advance what time we will have to wake up. It just adds to the anxiety not knowing anything.[/quote][/b]

You need to chill. When you get the letter, even if it is 3 days before the first day of school, set your alarm. Why do you need this info weeks in advance? If this makes YOU anxious, you need some help. Don't model this for your kids.[/quote]

I'm not the OP; but we've had several years of not receiving the information even once it had been sent out.  So allowing more time for mishaps like that is helpful for those whose letters seem to always get lost.   Also, bus schedules may not change much; but the times for us did change last year and if you didn't get a letter ahead of time, you would have missed the bus.  Also, I know a lot of people who go away that last week before school starts; so it can get "lost" in the backlog of mail when you return.  Lots of reasons.

actual teacher assignment isn't the end of the world if you don't know it earlier; but the transportation info can be, and it is really nice to have time to start working the grapevine and figuring out who's with who - especially as the child changes to another school, easing anxiety of the absolute unknown going into middle school for instance.
