Laurel Elementary is also our neighborhood school, and my son will be starting kindergarten in Fall 2008 as well. There is an active neighborhood parents group called Laurel Village Parents, and we have a Yahoo Group set up for communication. But you're right, I think most of the kids are still babies/toddlers. Please feel free to e-mail me if you'd like to discuss the whole school process. Good luck! Tonya
