[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, I wouldn't. A lot of the routine stuff is established that week. Going 4 days then missing Friday-Monday and being tossed back in Tuesday to do it all alone might not work well. Is it the end of the world? No. But I personally don't believe in missing any of the first week-two if at all possible. It makes it harder for them to get back into "school mode" and it kind of looks like you don't take school seriously since its "just K."[/quote]

Generally in K I'd say go for it, but that first week or two I personally wouldn't for the same reasons the PP above mentioned.
You still don't know how your DD will do that first day, how the teacher manages the classroom.  There were kids in my DD's classroom who were still really having trouble separating that whole week, even kids who had been in preschool or daycare.  That first week or two are important to get into the rhythms and expectations.

Take an extra day Columbus Day weekend, but in your case I don't think it's the best idea.[/quote]
