All in a day's work --

• Special needs student who just had a heart transplant wants to repeat 10th grade.
• Thirteen year-old going into 8th grade needs a young parent program because she has a baby.
• Seventeen year-old wants to take the GED because she can't get her grades from a previous high school, and the school she is to attend in our district won't enroll her without them.
• Counselor who just finished master's degree last year (08) finally got the U of U to recommend him for an educator license after way too many "I'll look into that" from the counseling folks at the U.
• Counselor who trusted a friend and colleague who now wants to discontinue their friendship needs support.
• My good friend and colleague announced his retirement to take a position as principal at probably the best high school in the state (another district of course) and needed to tell me before I heard it through the "grape vine."
• Student moved to Georgia and needs grades, attendance, and discipline records sent from Granite High (now closed with no plan for taking care of the 100 years of student records -- long story) to her new school by Wednesday.
