    Grades for the first tri

    Until reading this thread I didn't know what a star meant either and my ds is class of 2013 lol. My son was able to make up 2 classes without a setback because his gpa was still above 2.0. That meant summer school but it wasn't so bad since summer school is pretty laid back. He just got back...

    Parents clothing for PW

    Bring your rain gear as well as your summer wear. Last year it was cold, rainy and windy on Friday of parents weekend. I did not bring a heavy coat but my well prepared sister did! It was still on the cool side Saturday but not as stormy. Sunday almost hot. Reminds me of OR where it's always...

    Quitting Band for other things

    My ds was also a reluctant band member class of 2013. He is ok with it now because he's made such good friends in band but I agree that it shouldn't be forced up anyone! I don't think my ds could of hidden the fact he was in band because it's on his school transcripts. He played for over 7 years.

    Parents clothing for PW

    You're too fun Jasperdog! I can't imagine why it would bother my ds for his Mum to wear a tube top and a mini skirt to parent's weekend :yllol::yllol::yllol::yllol: Seriously though don't think I ever owned a tube top in my life and after having 9 pound babies I am as modest as they come...

    Plebe Candidate First Phone call home today

    I remember last year my kiddo called around 2. He was very positive about everything though he did say "crazy place" somewhere in the conversation lol. I was concerned about his voice because it was so hoarse that he could barely speak but it was better the following week and back to normal...

    Metro Exam

    Final grades Does anyone know if the final grades will be posted before the students leave campus Friday evening? My plebe was anxious about his Calc2 final but since he took it Monday I'm hoping he has the results before coming home.

    Leaving USMMA

    Grades This has been the toughest term for my plebe so far. The dark winter days aren't helping any. I know he doesn't want me to "helicopter" parent at all but can someone tell me if they still have tutoring available? He got through the Physics last term with tutoring help but it's the...

    Good Luck w/ Finals!!!

    Good question. I sent my son homemade cookies after classes were under way and they were confiscated. :frown: Learned my lesson the hard way. Only energy bars and drinks allowed in Band Co. At least that's been the general rule..

    Beat Retreat

    Well, I'll try to get their early and sit where the windows are and pray for a cold front! This Mom has nearly passed out in normal heat 'cause I've gotten used to the cool oregon coast climate so this is going to be a challenge. My son is in band company and has had to adjust to this hot and...

    Physical Fitness Assessment (BCA)

    I haven't heard anything negative about the food from my plebe except for the absence of snacks and having to wait until 11 a.m. to eat on Sundays. In fact I've heard a lot of good things about the food this year from other parents of plebes. True, I too send him energy bars for "between meals"...

    That is really a bummer. Honor or not those band plebes were looking forward to a (possible) night away from KP. :frown:
