Registering the kids for school

Today we had an appointment to go register Rachel and Alex.  We were shown into a conference room with a lady from the office and a translator who would help to fill out our forms.   The forms kept coming and coming....three hours later we completed the paperwork and had paid for uniforms.  Alex will be going to camp on Friday and Rachel will start summer school tomorrow.
Some ways to pay for bills here are at 7Eleven.. I paid our electric bill and our gas bill yesterday there, the Post Office, our phone bill and school supplemental insurance, and the bank has a withdrawal system, where we paid for the kids' school fees and fire insurance on our rental home. Very confusing, but can be convenient if I can figure out what is paid where!
Rachel and Alex met their teachers today who talked with them and gave them a school tour.  Rachel took her nail polish off tonight - not allowed at her school. They are excited to start back...summer break has been too long. Very eager to get into a routine and meet new friends.
