Hi cym,

Finding this group has been a godsend, as I'm actually reading posts about issues I am also dealing with, parents who have kids like I do. People who have real life experiences and can share about what they've done/are doing for their kids.

I am requesting a meeting with my son's principal and/or other officials there prior to my enrolling him for first grade there. It's a pretty brand new school (here in Vegas, houses/communities are still springing up places albeit at a slower rate), and when I talked to them last, they were really unsure what to do and hesitated to do anything yet since their GATE program doesn't start till 3rd grade. I am exploring options on perhaps skipping a grade, or perhaps taking advanced reading, etc. Will keep posted.
