We dont start until the 3rd. They have a couple of days then a 3 day weekend. DW is nervouse about the grade skip and peer issues. We don't know what teacher we will get, we don't know where they will place him for math, and we haven't even looked at GATE. Mostly because the principal is on board and willing to adjust as needed. She is picking the best teacher for him, we only know one of the 3rd grade teachers, and for math they have agreed to 4th grade, or even 5th if needed, or looking at using online math. DS& is happy about the skip and is looking forward to school. DW and I are the nervous ones.
