Update....Kindergarten

,

ANOTHER update:  So, I called on Friday to get Blakey's birth certificate and ordered it by phone, right? Well, I got the birth certificate in the mail that VERY NEXT DAY! Wow, that was fast. Just wanted to give you a heads up and let you know that it did come FAST! :)

I just wanted to give you a quick heads up that I JUST did this a few minutes ago, over the phone, and it was SOOOOOOO easy. I had to give her my name, my child's name and spelling, my child's date of birth, the father's name, and my maiden name. Then, I had to give her my card number for her to charge the $20 fee and my mailing address. Easy peasy! She did say that it would be mailed out the next business day and that I COULD go down and pick it up. I said I would wait for it to come in the mail as I'M NOT going to drive my butt downtown. I DON'T like driving and to drive downtown is REAL scarey for me. Then, as we got off the phone, she said that she would get it out in today's mail! Yay! Then, I can get my baby registered next week, by the due date! Nothin' like waiting 'till the last minute, huh? Really, it took less than five minutes to do this and she was super nice. :)

I just wanted to take the time and either remind you or give you a heads up that it's that time, if you have a child getting ready to go into kindergarten.

You will need to have purchased, if you haven't already, their "real" birth certificate (for $20) AND you will have to have your child's immunizations up-to-date or the waiver signed if you do not believe in vaccinating your children.

Most registrations start up next month. I say most as mine is here in a couple of weeks.

There are a few ways, if you live here in Spokane, to go about getting/purchasing your child's birth certificate.
