DD is Alexandra and went by it in K last year. This year she's thinking of going by her nn "Allie" in 1st grade. I know there's at least one other Allie in her grade so she may have to go by Allie S.
Do I write Alexandra on her supplies? If she goes by Allie then write that instead?
Re: Dumb ? about writing name on school supplies
Use Alexandra on supplies. She can still go by Allie informally.
We do this with my son. He's "Timothy" on paper, but people call him "Tim" a lot.
Please check on this! Our school is big on this and everyone involved 9kids and teachers) get frustrated when names are on supplies that go into "the pot"--especially if the supplies are "cool" and different than what was asked for.
Our school supply list tells us which items are to be labeled and which aren't.
I'd probably label them all with "Allie S" if that's what she want to be called the whole year.
