Honeymoon help...what do I do with my little one??

So I'm getting married in November and we would like to take our honeymoon right after the wedding. Problem is, Amber will be in kindergarten and there isn't anyone around that I trust (for the week) to keep her on schedule, etc. to get her back/forth to before care/after care, etc. I know there is some sort of issue with taking kids out of school for vacations and such. Do you think they would make a big fuss if I kept her out of school for a week in Kindergarten?

If you are planning to take her, I would be honest and ask the teacher. If you aren't planning on taking her, I would wait til school vacation as she will have her mommy gone and not be in school without friends to play with.

K is not even mandatory, so it's highly unlikely the district will say anything about the absence. I would just request the work for the week and have her do it while she is absent.

As a Kindergarten teacher, I recommend you NOT lie about the situation. That is just silly.

No one can stop you from keeping your child home from school. I will be honest and say that if she is a struggling student, a week away will be detrimental. However, if she is doing okay or above, I'm sure she'd catch up without a problem.

You can certainly ask the teacher for some work while you're away, but it's not always possible to have everything ready in advance. But, if the teacher can tell you "We'll be working on the letters P and R, and couting to 10" then you (or whoever) can work on that with your DD.

I would take her out. Ask the teacher for work for her and do it on the plane.
