Today is Senior Skip Day – apparently to be followed by the traditional one in Spring.

How many of your children’s schools have a skip day in the Fall? This was a new one for me. I guess I’ll find out later today if this is simply something talked about but few participate in, or if in fact seniors skip (last year was our first graduating class of a new high school). Our school district places a premium on attendance – built in is the privilege of NOT taking finals if you miss a certain low number of days, or less, and have a certain grade – so the incentive is to go to school.

My S is at school today.
