Hmm…yes, it’s kind of weird that we’re hoping everyone gets the postcards before turning on the portal, when the class lists at Glennwood have been posted on the front door for a week. Not sure about other schools. So posting on doors, then sending postcards, THEN updating the most sensible channel for information. Doesn’t make sense, but thanks for the heads up!

It’s not your imagination. Everyone is noticing it. Unfortunately, we also noticed an increase back in 2004 but were not believed. This time, not even the previous Board member who said he wouldn’t count baby carriages could miss it. He’d trip over the little ones!

I am wondering what the rate of increase will be next year? My daughter just turned 4 and will be entering Kindergarten in the fall of 2012. I feel like there are a ton of kids here age but it is just an observation no actual data gathering here. However I was told when I had her in July 2007 that was the most babies ever born in one month at Crawford-Long, again just a nurse telling me. But should be interesting to find out. And it is good to hear that us residents get first priority.

Send the cards, by all means, if only for the reason you mentioned. It provides a nice check on address updates. Just don’t hold off on using the portal. If it ever made sense, the reason you cited for not putting the information on the portal right away no longer seem to make sense.
