Thanks, PP.  This is very helpful.  To your last paragraph, what do you mean by social limitations?  Do you feel that socio-economics or language barriers limit your DCs social circle?[/quote]

Yes, and yes.  For example, ds had a December birthday.  The school has not had a directory in the past, so having contact is difficult.  We are walkers, so that is a bit of an advantage.  I happened be to be in class a few weeks before his birthday for a gingerbread activity, so I chatted with a few moms who were there to see if they would be around over break.  All 3 said yes, and gladly shared their emails.  We were just doing a very small thing at our home, said no gifts, etc.  Only one replied to my email and phone call.  It was the mom of the one other caucasian child in his class, who has become his best buddy.  They play often after school, and even had a recent sleepover.

Actually, I am working with the principal now, to work out a way to get a directory together, to help have parents be able to reach out to each other.  Heck, I am debating brushing up on my Spanish too.  Ds talks often of his friends, so I know, in school, he is very happy.  I am working out ways to get him together with his buddies outside of school.  The small class size, and individualized instruction he is getting, so far have us very pleased though.  I feel our school, and the advanced academic teacher in particular really work hard to make sure the higher performing students are challenged too.[/quote]
