Back to School For Dex

This year Dexter is starting well before Maya. This year he's in 8th grade!!

Dexter is ready for school.

The lonely front door shot now that Maya isn't starting too.

Have a great year!

Back To School - Together Again

These two have been reunited at the same school for the last time - probably ever. Dexter starts 7th grade at Santa Fe Prep and Maya begins her senior year. And finally a school shot in front of our new house.

These two together one last school year.

Hope it's a great year!

6th Grade Here He Comes

Dexter is ready for his last year at Wood Gormley Elementary as a 6th grader.

Obligatory front door shot.

Hope he has a wonderful year.

Ready!

Now we have to drive to school. Oh well.

Big kid on campus.

Dexter's First Day

Dexter started school early this year. To make up for learning lost last year, school started a couple weeks sooner than normal. 

Dexter is ready.

Maya is ready to send him off.

Picture of taking the picture.

It's a very quick walk to school.

Dexter is ready to walk into a building that we know nothing about to start his 4th grade year. Brave kid. Wish we could go in and meet the teachers, but we aren't allowed. 

Back to Real School

We are so grateful that our school was able to open back up to in person school.

Dexter got to go back two days before Maya.

Maya and Dexter both in school attire for the day.

We were able to see Dex in his classroom at assembly that day.

Then it was time for Maya.

It's great to go back, but it is still school.

Covid School

Well, it's time to go "back to school." This year the kids didn't go very far. 

The kids got dragged out onto the stairs for their usual first day of school photo. This year no shoes required because they weren't going anywhere.

Time for "screen school" as Dexter calls it.

Maya's classroom.

Back To School

It's that time of year again...

Unfortunately, this isn't staged.

Hello 2nd grade and 7th grade.

Dexter at his desk.

Maya gets her first locker.

Back To School Again

These guys are ready for another year. Maya is starting 6th grade and Dexter is starting 1st.

 The obligatory photo series.

Shaking hands with Mr. Harvey, the Head of School.

Dexter looking very cute in his new classroom.

Two Kids, Same School

This has never happened.  Today Maya and Dexter went to school at the same spot.  Dexter is starting Kindergarten (for real) and Maya is starting 5th grade.

Obligatory shots in front of the house.

These two.

Dexter gets to shake Mr. Harvey's hand as a student.  He made sure to look him in the eye.

You can see the excitement.

 Proud Kindergartener.

Dexter is in class with his friend since birth, Owen.

After his first day.  (You may be wondering why there aren't more pictures of Maya.  Being her older 5th grade self, she didn't want photos.)

Dexter says hi to his 8th grade buddy, Matthew.

Dexter starts "Kindergarten"

Dexter started his last year at his Montessori school.  He is in their kindergarten program, but because of his birthday being just after the cut-off, he will go to kindergarten again next year.  So, don't be surprised when you see his first day of kindergarten again next year.

 Ready for school!

Silly!

Now with this sis!

This year Dex gets to spend lots of time with Teacher Denise who is in charge of the kindergarten program.
