Pursuant to the following...

Mrs. Norton:
I was advised at the Open House that students could get an extra milk at lunch if a parent signed a consent form. At that time (9/1) I signed and returned said form. I had appraised Sabrina of her 2nd milk option, but she said she had difficulty on Thursday getting more than one milk.

Please advise as to the best course of action.

Imagine, if you will, what Sabrina's teacher would think upon receiving a note like this one... I fortunately got to Derek before he put that note in her school bag. Isn't that a scream? I can just imagine the follow-up message... our lawyer has recommended cafeteria police for the milk line to ensure that all students are well-hydrated and have adequate calcium intake...

According to Derek, he was trying to compose a professional, courteous note. I think he might have been trying for Most Scary Kindergarten Dad of the Year.

So what would you think?

Well, it **IS** professional and curteous. Anyhow, better than a tantrum that the 5 year old may do. Can you email the teacher? I found that this was a great way to communicate with them - from both side of my experience.

Darn thirsty kids - I sweat mine NEVER are done drinking.

Please advise...second milk option...lol...that IS funny. Although it might help the teacher to better understand why Sabrina has such a good vocabulary! :)

Hmm...Emailing teacher... good idea. Better than my buying stationery for all of those notes.

And yes - if Sabrina is hearing words like appraised, advise, etc. no wonder she doesn't sound like a five-year-old! you are so right!

I can't even write a response... I'm too busy laughing myself silly! Once again, Diane, you prove why God gives children TWO parents!
