I think Grinity has great advice. We have been very careful to toe the line between advocating and being pushy. It is different with each teacher. Some are great and some are not. This year is a little different for us because we will be talking about subject acceleration instead of just ADHD. I plan to take the same approach as we have before... " We want to work with you. Please let us know your ideas and what works so we can support your efforts at home." All teachers thus far have been very receptive to us. Last year DD's teacher and I exchanged emails a couple of times a month. It was great because we didn't have to chase each other or take time away for constant meetings. Just a few lines to say what was or wasn't working or what to work on that week.
Good luck!
