These are things I need to ask the current classroom teacher about, then go from there. We switched her meds over the summer and I really don't have the foggiest idea of how she's functioning at school. On day 3 I emailed the teacher (in case we need to adjust the meds) and the teacher said she's doing wonderfully and completing work fast (vs. the last week of school last year the teacher said she was doing horribly and couldn't complete the simplest of things). Whether DD will start to flounder in a GATE program, I don't know, but I imagine at that time we would need to write a 504 and reduce the workload or allow her extra time for assignments or exams. I wouldn't mind getting her a 504 now, but the school wants to see kids already failing before they consider that.
