This is our first experiance with this. We were not here at the beginning of last year. We were told we'd be notified this past Friday what day this week our KK student would be starting school. We were not notified so I have no idea what to do. Our older child will be in 3rd at the same school. so we had planned on just getting everyone ready and going by the office. I just hate to get his hopes up and drag all his supplies to school only to be turned away...

Did anyone else expect a call and didnt get one?? Anyone work with MCS KK and have some advice? Is there some list I should know about and dont??? To be fair, the people doing the registration at the kids school werent familir with the process and werent sure what to do. I dont blame them at all. It was a hectic evening!

Sounds like the Gates Foundation and Race to the Top programs are causing some problems. This is the first year they are implementing these programs into the Memphis school system. It's my understanding they fired a bunch of the old admin staffs from some schools and brought in new people before the school year. This might be what you're dealing with.

Thanks for the info.

We have a new prinicpal this year. (but she's been with MCS for the past 8 yrs). My kids are at Downtown.

I have no idea if the call was supposed to be automated or what.

This is why it's important to have registration a few weeks before school starts, not 4 days. All these kinks are typically ironed out.


Oh well. hopefully he starts tomorrow. He REALLY wants to go to school!
