La réntree

So yesterday was the first day of school.  This year the class list was posted day of.  When the kids saw who their teacher was, my daughter off-handedly mentioned that her teacher was nice but wasn’t around a lot. 

Then I ran into her best friend’s mom who informed me that the teacher was in fact absent that day. 

Guess she’s sick, I thought.

At noon I got an email from the principal confirming this and using the word congé (leave) when describing the teacher’s absence.  

Very sick. 

Later I got another email informing us that they were able to find a substitute teacher until the end of the week.  

Oh that’s good.

When I went to pick them up another parent who’s part of the PTA informed me that the teacher was in fact coming back in March. 

 

Happy back to school!
