    Interesting phone call from our leasing office

    Definitely call/email/write IAC customer service, as they are really good about responding. Or, if you were speaking with the assistant manager (who deals with most of those calls/issues in IAC rentals) go talk to your Community Manager - most of the time they want to fix it before it ever gets...

    Orange Coast article

    I have to tell you all - it is threads like this that has ADDICTED me to this site (much to the chagrin of my WOW-playing son). Seriously though, coming from a marketing background, every one of those publications mentioned takes in SO much money for "incentiv-ized" articles. I worked in...

    Average age for boys to start 1st grade

    Thanks for the name of that psychologist and IPO... for your insight too! That is EXACTLY what I worry about at times. (World of Warcraft, the new Dungeons & Dragons - HA!) Thankfully between NJB (Basketball - GREAT league that teaches fundamentals and plays 5 periods so each child gets to...

    Average age for boys to start 1st grade

    LOL - he is going to be taking a couple of courses at IVC this summer, but music & art courses. I'm working with a charter program for him and he will be tested to enter college early. We have to get a letter from his school recommending him to take the IVC classes, so on so forth... Because...

    Average age for boys to start 1st grade

    IUSD vs Newport-Mesa

    I agree that family attitude will go very far, but environment definitely plays a HUGE role as they are beginning to declare independence! Like I said, if it was my younger son, it would be a slightly different story, but my oldest definitely cares a lot more about what people think, so that...

    Average age for boys to start 1st grade

    I have two sons and received advice on both sides of the coin regarding my boys because they both have summer birthdays (June & July). I put them in the fall after they turned 5. They are now in 5th & 8th grade, respectively, and though they ARE younger than many of their classmates, they...

    IUSD vs Newport-Mesa

    This was a slightly older post, but my sons went to school in NMUSD near Newport Coast and now attend in Irvine. The two districts cannot even be compared beyond the elementary schools! My sons attended school in Newport & Eastside Costa Mesa - the elementary's (specifically Woodland Elem =...

    Meadowpark Elementary

    Can't think of any to-do's or not to-do's for Meadowpark. It is a great school - both of my sons have attended. It feeds into South Lake Middle, which was recently rated (in OC Register) as the #2 Middle School in all of OC. There aren't any BAD schools in Irvine, per say. I like these two...
