Update - the principal had to cancel the meeting last week and was going to reschedule it with me yesterday. I did not hear from her so I emailed my DS' teacher this morning. The teacher replied back within a couple of hours and told me that the principal was out sick for several days. She says the principal is anxious to help DS and for sure she'll contact me to reschedule as soon as she's able.
The DS was assessed by the math specialist two weeks ago for the end of the 1st grade and beg. of 2nd grade level math to see if there are any gaps that they need to focus on before moving on with his enrichment. He did really well on them. He also was given the 2nd grade MAP test (math only) last week. The teacher doesn't know the result yet.
In the meantime, the teacher will give him a "challenge packet" to do in class in his free time or for replacement of other class work. He has been very chatty during class so hope this would help him focus and keep him interested in school work.
When I didn't get the phone call yesterday, I became a little worried that the school was trying to push it off or ran into roadblocks. But with this update from the teacher, I feel a bit relieved. It sounds like the school is moving along with the process. Our meeting was just delayed due to the principal's sickness. I am sure she'll have a lot to catch up after returning to school. So I am going to patiently wait for her to contact me for the rescheduling of the meeting.
