So, it's time to start school around here and we just left Meet the Teacher. We got the ONE teacher with a bad reputation. I haven't heard horror stories but I understand her to be quite inflexible.

DS7 is HG with dysgraphia and we will be working to get a 504 for him ASAP. I tried to start this conversation last year but no one seemed interested. The AP said we'd meet the first week of school, which seemed like a lofty goal. I've emailed her now about that and no response. I emailed her last Wednesday.

Here's my question-do I try to get him into another class or wait and see how it goes? Frankly, last year was terrible and I just want him start off well. I'm also concerned about fighting the 504 battle while asking for a new teacher. Do I need to pick my battles here? Both are feeling pretty big at the moment.
