Thank you, it's nice hearing confirmation that these are important years. DH is not one to rock the boat and it's all up to me. I will definitely plan to make some visits. The science magnet starts next year - 4-8 grades, and IB could start in 5th but it would be the last yr of elementary for that school so not sure socially how that would go. IB is 6th at the middle school so that's an option. I definitely want to get that fire turned up for him. Thanks so much for your advice!!
