You might fair better than we did (requested day one of school, GIEP in place late January!)

We also have a meeting this Tuesday. Best wishes to us both!

Yeah, I know and read that too frown and for a while it raised my anxiety level a bit. Following this group helps as I see that we're all in similar boats.

I did find out from another teacher who was also a parent of a gifted child that at our K school one other student in the past had some sort of supplemental teaching or pull out program. So at least that's a positive sign. (My current thought is simply why bother? Just let DS go to 1st.)

Good luck to you too Dottie.
