[ - ] Ok should I be getting grief from the nanny?- with school over, I asked her to pick up dc from camp and she got there late and ended up having to take a cab to cut some time from the subway station. We prepped her for a month giving her very detailed directions and also telling her to add add'l 30 min (which we compensate her for) to her normal commute. I feel bad that she had to take a cab she left her house at her usual time not allowing herself extra time like we asked her to. I didnt get major grief but she seems a bit bothered that she has to pick up dc from camp 3 days this week- not the entire summer!!! 5 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

i got through by calling the main # then dialing 0. They are making appointments for registration. They say that orientation will take place the first week of school. Kids don't have to be present for registration; times are all in the morning. Bring birth cert/passport, proof of address, and immunization record. See you in September! [ Reply | More

No, you should try calling again, pressing 0 for operator. They're registering til next Wed., but they have limited time slots left, and if you work, most of the early morning spots are already gone. [ Reply | More

I don't think they can just stop the registration on Wednesday. As long as you accepted a spot at NEST feel free to make an appointment with NEST for registration anytime. They cannot take your spot away if you don't register by Wed next week. [ Reply | More

My DH needed a CPAP machine. I keeps airway open and also retrains the body to breathe properly while sleeping. He no longer needs it every night, just a few nights a week (if he is really tired or has a cold, for ex). It does make a whirring noise, kind of like an A/C - but so much better than his snoring!

They're expecting some movement. If you want to be a bit ballsy, you can ask if they'd be willing to consider your deposit to date a "contribution" so that you can get the write-off. (These are the types of calls I have dh make for me :) ) [ Reply | More

Hello parents of Wingspan Arts- We are halfway through our online pre-registration period and I wanted to send a reminder to everyone that June 20th is the last day to pre-register for the Fall 2008 semester. Please follow this link http://www.wingspanarts.org/events-whats-news to get to the online registration information and link. A few easy steps and your child will be registered for the fall! As always, please feel free to contact us if you experience any problems with the registration. We are trying this new system in hopes that it will make the registration process more simple for you. We don’t want anyone to be shut out of classes - so register now! Thank you for allowing your students to be with us this past semester and year. We have had a great time in afterschool, and we look forward to the fall. Have a great summer. -- Paul Ashley Wingspan Arts, Inc.
