We had promised more updates this year and have seemingly got off to a rough start. We arrived in Deer Lake with all of our bins (quite an accomplishment because Amanda had quite a few too). When we arrived at the teacherage, the internet was down. Our luck. We figured it was done all over. Several days went by before I asked our computer technician at school about the internet. He was told that the reason it was out was because the bill hadn't been paid. Our luck. I then waited a day before I found our finance person and asked her about the unpaid bills. She replied that they had been paid, but will look into it. Our luck. And now it is the long weekend, so nothing will be updated until the middle of next week.
All in all we have been fortunate, because the internet works at the school. We have just been walking to the school to check every once and awhile.
Our first day was supposed to be on Wednesday, August 31, but a community wide fishing derby was being held from Sept. 1-4. So school has been postponed until Sept. 6. The Board has designated the three missed days as Traditional Days, so as to not lose any time. At least something worked out for us.
Our classrooms were quickly prepped and we are now just waiting for school to begin. It appears as though there will be 15 grade 8s and 20 grade 9s to start. That means the year end trip will only be for 20 people (including chaperones). A lot different than last year.
