[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, it totally depends on how your school works. For us (in FCPS), there are several K playdates over the summer, and then an open house the Thursday or Friday before school begins where the kids get to meet their teacher, see their classroom, and meet other kids. If your school is like this, and you would be able to do the playdates and open house, I would absolutely go on the trip. You can pick out clothes and backpack and lunch for the first day before you leave, have your parents take a first day picture, and then Facetime after to see how it went.

I know I'm a bit weird when it comes to things like this, but I also recognize that kids don't remember one-off things like this if you make it to most things. And I would be very surprised if your child, a few years from now, even remembered that you weren't there for the first day (if you were there for all the lead-up). [/quote]

I don't understand how she's missing the first day.  She said she's going Friday to Labor Day.  There is no way school will start any of those days
