Update: So I never actually responded the principal's last email saying they would get back to me with dates for a conference. We were hit with a crisis here (really times consuming, stressful distraction that still has not ended) and I just dropped the ball. Anyway, I was about to email on Monday and then DS came home and said he was pulled out by the 4th grade reading teacher and given an hour's worth of reading tests. He said one seemed like the DRA and some were not. I goggled the book that he thought was DRA and it is the next level up. Not sure what they are up to but they did this last time before moving him up. So I guess this is good. I just want him at the right level starting next year... I have learned my lesson that when DS is not at the right level of challenge there is hell to pay.
