Thank you Neato. We do not have a curriculum person or gifted coordinator for first graders. I just managed to get in touch with the coordinator for the 4th grade, when GATE begins in our district, and after a lengthy conversation she did not have any advice.
It's nice to hear that your child changed her mind about homeschooling. Is she happier now?
I am planning to ask what they suggest and discuss solutions. I'm frustrated because I was asked to join the Site Council specifically to work on enrichment for kids like my son and due to budget cuts, there has been little we could do. I guess my goal is to be as calm as I can be during the conversation. I do not want to make the situation worse!
The principal has already talked with me about how this school is not a good fit for my son. I'm just hoping we can find a way to finish the year and have a plan for next year.
