I've just received confirmation that dd1 has been awarded a place in our first choice primary school which I'm delighted about. I've received a letter from the school which says there is a very important meeting to discuss admission to the school, meet the teachers, order uniform etc. Problem is we have a week abroad booked which clashes with the school meeting.
I really didn't want to have to phone up and say I can't make the meeting as I don't want us to appear difficult in any way before she's even started and I really did want to go (chance to meet other mums etc). But what can we do? I have been thinking of trying to get the holiday changed but this would be very difficult (we've made other arrangements around this date) and it would also incur additional costs if its possible to change at all.
Would you try to change your holiday or ring and explain??? Please help!
