To do before the kid arrives:

Clear some space
Rearrange the computer setup
Put away the laundry
Clean the kitchen

To do soon after the kid arrives:

Buy a dresser or get one on freecycle
Sign the kid up for school
Get the kid a bus pass
Have a welcome-to-the-bay-area party for the kid?

And I'm sure there are a million other things, but that's the most pressing stuff right now.

So which school are you thinking of signing her up for?

There are a lot of new small high schools in the OUSD, if you're signing her up for public school, and I've worked in many of them (and the old big ones too) as a substitute teacher.

We can talk about this on email if you'd rather. "my LJ handle"@mm.st

P. S.

I'll be away from the Bay area from July 8 until August 18, but if the welcome-to-the-bay-area party happens outside of those dates, then please invite me. If she's going to wind up at Far West, I'll be happy to let her interrogate a substitute teacher who has worked there three or four times. If she wants to, of course. I know perfectly well it's probably the last thing any 16-year-old would want to do at such a party!
