If the friends are not around, then maybe now is a great time to experiment.

New schools are tough because there are always bumps to be ironed out, but in 2nd grade I wouldn't be worried about extracurriulars, I'd be looking for wonderful teachers who get him.

Unfortunately they are doing assessment for enrichment classes for every kid at second grade and it can take months for classes to begin!
DS is waiting for that to start NOT so patiently! Today his teacher left a lengthy voice message about his behavior at math class today. He could not stop reading a book although the teacher asked him a couple times to listen. She sounds very frustrated. I am going to return her call tomorrow.. What should I say? Should I just tell her that he is bored! His first grade teacher used to allow him read books at math class as long as he read quietly. This teacher seems to be a bit intense.

I just sent out DYS application today. I hope he will be accepted this month so at least we have some additional resources if we need to in communicating with school.

If nothing works, then we will try that new school.
