Thanks Loy58- I hope the SSA works out well for your son too. I understand that the scheduling is the school's responsibility, but I also want to make sure he doesn't miss art, music or P.E. (I feel those experiences are difficult for me to "make-up" at home) and he really enjoys them. Last year he missed some social studies, some writing, a little bit of reading but not the same subject every day. Any tips on communicating with teachers (his reading teacher, home room, and math) about what he is missing in each room from day to day?
