SCHOOL REPORT

Haley managed fairly well with her first day.  She found her classes (it is a small school) and made some friends and may need to adjust her schedule if she can.  She has an Irish class - which for her is just  a study hall,  but we thought she could see about adding another class instead.  She believes she is understanding the teacher's accents, but the terminology is another matter entirely!  One teacher told them to pull out their copies - Haley didn't know what they meant.  She then learned that copies are small,  soft-covered notebooks that are available for purchase at any school supply store.  They look like blue-book exam booklets.  She needs these for every class,  and also a hard-cover notebook, which we think is your basic spiral notebook, however, there are notebooks sold that  have actual book bindings  - we are hoping she doesn't have to get those!

For lunch they just get a free hour.  For  the schools in the Cities,  this  means the students can go oout in the town for lunch, to sit outside at a park,  or even shopping, buut Haley's school is in the country so there is no going off campus for lunch!

She has not yet gotten a locker,  but that should happen soon I'm sure. She had some people contact her on facebook last night so things are looking up for her socially!

Got her off to her second day of school and hopefully it will also go well.
