alef Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Are we still waiting for OUR registered letter? :laugh: You know, the public schools have been trying to figure out how to get the attention of homeschoolers for a long time. Looks like this one finally hit on a successful strategy: send a registered letter, let the recipient know it is out there, and then don't deliver it. Must've bribed the post office... :d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hen Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 heh, I'm stalking, too. my guess is that your district is starting a new district led home program, and they are hitting up all the known homeschoolers. So, maybe it won't be so bad. your mail system in your area really surprises me!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliegmom Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Unashamedly adding myself to the ongoing list of stalkers who are curious about your letter! :-) Hope you get an answer soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Um_2_4 Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 OK, LOOOOOOONG weekend, but no letter yet! :glare: Called Sat and still having an "issue" with the registered letters. Besides a lost key, my other guess is they broke the key off in the lock and are waiting till today to get a locksmith to fix it... :toetap05: ! So about 1 hour till typical mail delivery time.... :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimson Wife Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I feel sorry for all the people in your neighborhood who are waiting on registered letters that are ACTUALLY important, KWIM? Your particular letter is probably something completely trivial, but I'm sure there are a bunch of letters sitting in that lockbox containing legal paperwork or whatever.

Um_2_4 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 While we're waiting, how do you like Gateway to Arabic? :laugh: Yeah, so we like it, straight forward and you can download audio files for it, so if you don't have a native speaker to teach you it can be helpful. (I haven't tried the audio files yet, just fyi.) Only thing I wish it had was more practice pages per each skill, but that is common in arabic curriculums I have found. Hence why I add extras from online or do oral exercises. If you want to learn some arabic, check out these online readers with games:http://omarmariam.irsyad.sg/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um_2_4 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 OK !!! WE HAVE THE LETTER FOLKS!!! ANNNNNDDDD...... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .(just so people will have to click on it to read the update :rofl: ) It was informing me that some schools in the district are Title I schools and as such if any of my students WOULD be attending those schools AND they test below 37% on the standardized test, then they can get free special services. And info about free teacher "training" programs (if you want to call them that :smilielol5: ) and about free ESL and special Ed services. BUT I did get a High 5 from the mail clerk because I homeschool... so :thumbup: worth the trip right???? Now we may all resume our crazy normal lives.. ETA: AND now I have a HOT post....where's my trophy?? (and cupcake)???? Better not send them registered mail.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
