A Snafu: Kindergarten Enrollment
It's almost time for Kindergarten registration. I can hardly believe it. He's just a baby... isn't he?
Registration is at the end of April, but I've already run into the first registration snafu. His school says, and I quote, "STUDENTS ENTERING KINDERGARTEN MUST HAVE A PHYSICAL AFTER JANUARY 1 OF THE YEAR THEY REGISTER." I knew that getting a health exam this quickly would be difficult because they schedule them many months in advance. I schedule Jamie's a year in advance. I thought the pediatrician's office would probably be aware of this rule. Surely they've run into it before even though they are not in our town, they are close and surely have plenty of kids in our school district. Apparently not.
The scheduling desk said that they could not schedule Jamie an appointment this close to his last one (which was in October). They said insurance would not allow it. It had to be a full year. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do here. Am I going to have to pay for this out of pocket?
I put a call into the school, but it was late and the person I needed to speak with was already gone for the day. I left a message on her voice mail to call me with a brief explanation of the issue. Hopefully there is a way to work this out without me having to dish out a few hundred dollars.
