Hi grandmapa,

Any idea of the name of the school? It does appear there are a few schools in the area that serve those ages. :)

Thanks for the needed and much appreciated advice, I did get a call back from thier school secretary with thier start dates. Would it be that you could possibly help me in finding their schools website? They live in Jefferson Iowa, and are in grades 2nd & 3rd grades this year.
I would much appreciate all your help and time spend.
I might add, again living away from the grandchildren has been a very difficult adjustment and I just want so much to be more informed as to their daily activities and school schedules, as I do not get to see them or talk with them as much as I would love to.

I DID FIND THE SCHOOLS WEBSITE AND IT STATED NOTHING IN REFERANCE TO THEIR START DATE, AND AS I MENTIONED, I AM NOT OF THE AREA
THANKS ANYWAYS, AM WAITING FROM A CALL BACK FROM THE SCHOOL (I CALLED & LEFT A MESSAGE)

Hi grandmapa,

It's great you want to be involved! I'd first suggest finding the school's website. That website will be able to tell you when school starts (since GreatSchools is a nationwide parent community, we don't know when school starts).

You might want to write a note to the teacher and let them know your availability or even attend a PTA meeting. Schools actually send home notices asking for help, so ask your grandkids to be on the look out for that.

Good luck, and let us know what happens!
