Media teacher wrote me back and said she discussed it with the principal, and I should make an appt to talk with her.
Principal saw me in the hall and smiled, saying to set something up through the secretary for us to meet.
Another friend heard what other schools I may end up with, and warned me that the admin over there was crazy - most teachers had put in requests for transfers from there, already. NOT something I want to deal with!
So, we'll see what happens today.

S13 had his concert last night - last year he is playing the cello, since he wants to pick up ROTC in high school. It was drama-free, thankfully. OW was going to go, but S13 asked her not to - said it would make me upset. S13 didn't want her there, but doesn't want to seem mean or piss off his father, so took me up on my offer to blame me for anything that made him uncomfortable or might upset his dad! (We had just had that convo concerning phone calls...his father gets pissed when the kids aren't available to talk to him every night at 7, but sometimes they are in the middle of something, with friends, just not in the mood, etc...so I told them to blame me- maybe not the best precedent, but there is no talking to this man...)
ANYway, the concert was awesome, and out to ice cream after (D10 had peanut butter cup & popcorn flavors, topped with swedish fish - eww!)
