BBDad: we had a good "in" to set up this meeting. Since DS was granted access into first grade, we contacted the teacher via email with the premise on making sure that DS is fitting well, etc.

We definitely have to build the relationship with the teacher because she's part of the gifted evaluation process and we're not done with that yet.

We're not going to have much time though. At first I thought 30 minutes. It'll likely be 15 or 20 so this might just be the first meeting with a follow up later...
