The conclusion of jury duty + some school info

I had to go back to the courthouse for an hour on Tuesday, basically so I could wait around to find out that I didn't get picked. The people that did get chosen weren't thrilled... If it took more than a day just to pick the jury, I wonder how long the actual trial was. I hope it's over by now!

School (with students) starts tomorrow. We had open house on Thursday night, and I got to see six out of nine of my students. It went really well, and I'm actually pretty excited for tomorrow! I do have one issue though...

Most of my students ride special buses... some people call them "short buses" but whatever. :) Anyway, their parents have to call transportation to get their buses set up at the beginning of the year. I have a student who speaks some English, but his mom only speaks Spanish. I found out from transportation that the student had been calling the bus garage on Friday, trying to set up his own transportation. A general ed middle schooler would have enough trouble doing this, but since it's one of my students, I'm definitely a little worried about him getting to school tomorrow! And, of course, he can't just ride one bus and get to Yearling. He actually has to go to another school and switch buses. I just don't know how this is going to work out... I need to review my emergency procedures to make sure I know what to do when a student is misplaced...

Looking forward to a great first day! (Ugh... teacher talk is pretty annoying...)
