Wow -- I'm so happy to connect with you! My DS is skipping into 9th grade this fall and will indeed be 13 in high school! We've been battling with the middle school principal and the district superintendent's office for the last two years. So I'm relieved, but also a bit anxious. I feel like, all of a sudden, I have to start thinking about college. Part of the reason I was eager to do DYS was to get sup-port for me! blush
