[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fallsmead ES is the LAD school in the Wootton cluster. They have extra resources to support LAD kids, so in theory if your child has IEP, you could potentially do very well at Fallsmead with the support available. LAD is for those with &gt;15 (I think that was the number) hours of service from their IEP, so you'd have to find out whether your child qualifies for LAD services. Note, other kids from around the cluster are bussed to Fallsmead if they are a LAD student.

Fallsmead as a school for regular kids is also good. Most kids are directly from the neighborhood/immediate areas, so parents and families typically know each other, and there is a great community feel at Fallsmead. And most parents are normal, not crazy, which is refreshing in MC.

I qualify all this by saying I have a child with IEP, but less than 15 hrs services, and I had concerns about child getting needs met because there were so many others with more severe needs, and thus would be more likely to command attention. That's the practical aspect. We also had a child there who was regular student.

Most of friends at Fallsmead receiving services love it. Most teachers usually are on the ball and truly do want to do right by your child, SN or not. Of course there are exceptions, but that's regardless where you g

Good luck with your move. Hopefully you will find the Fallsmead neighborhood/area to be just as welcoming as we did!
