We are in!

Kamryn is now a proud student of École élémentaire catholique d’enseignement personnalisé La Source (quite a mouthful eh?). Daniel thinks they have messed up somewhere (as do I) but I don't think there is anything they can do about it now (without lots of people having egg on their faces and much indignant yelling from us). There is a chance that they haven't messed up though.

We arrived for our interview this afternoon and it was VERY clear that it wasn't an information session but a registration session. So we registered her, had a long chat with the director about the philosophy of the school etc. etc., the fact that they are building a new building that will open in 2008 and the fact that they are instituting a follow-on program starting in September at what will be Kamryn's eventual highschool/middle school. Kamryn had a little tour and visited the kindergarten on her own (well with a teacher tour guide) and made some crafts.

After we talked about everything, we brought up the fact that no one had told us that there was actually a spot for Kamryn at the school and we thought we were just on the waiting list. She looks surprised and asked when we had put Kamryn on the waiting list. I told her last month and she commented that we were lucky to get her in since the school is full right through the 2008 school year. I think more than luck was at work here (I think someone mixed up the paperwork somewhere). Even better though, because Kamryn is now a student, Sam is guaranteed a spot. Now all we have to do is wait until May when we will be invited back to the school to try on and purchase all the uniforms we need. We're holding on to our appointment with our neighbourhood school (for May) just in case they do decide they have made an error (really I can't believe we were this lucky). We'll cancel it after we go to the uniform buying session.
