Hunter will return on the 3rd of June for the last three days of school. Luckily, we don't have to worry about stringent attendance policies because he attends a private school but I know he wouldn't want to miss the last few days with his schoolmates before summer so I'm not planning on tacking any extra days onto this trip.
What grade will your girls be in next year? Hunter will be a fifth grader (doesn't seem possible) but will still be 10 at the time of the cruise.
Welcome to all the new cruisers! Our little group is growing on a daily basis, it seems.
Hailey will be 12 and just finishing up 6th grade and Hillary will be 10 and finishing up 4th grade.
Hannah probably won't have to return to school after the cruise. Our schools are usually out by May 25th or so depending on snow days. Last year we had several and this year we haven't had any so far, they tack them on to the end of the year. We don't have the school calendar for next year yet so I'm not sure if she'll miss any school at all. If it were this year, she would only miss the last day of school which is a day you go pick up your report card and leave. Last year she missed the last 7 days of school but all of her work and testing was completed. Her teacher said the only thing she would be missing was field day, movies, and fun times. She wasn't too upset, after all she was cruising!!! I never thought about taking her out and re-registering her for attendance purposes, that's a great idea. I'll have to talk to the school about that if it becomes an issue. Last year, someone did mention that we could be turned in for truancy but I told them we would pull her out and home school her for the last few days of school and suddenly it was no longer a problem. hmmmm!
Hannah will be in finishing 4th grade when we go on this trip. My little baby is growing up too fast.
Kasey- Where is Lake Villa, IL? We are from IL also but near St. Louis.
Have a great weekend everyone! And welcome aboard!
The time does go by so fast. Our school system is pretty good with taking the kids out for travel. We have never run into any problems.
Lake Villa is a northern suburb of Chicago, very close to the WI state line.
It looks like your Hannah and my Hillary are the same age!
Have a great weekend everyone!
