[quote=Anonymous]If all parties involved including current and new school know everything, then there are no secrets. We were in a similar situation with our 1st grader. It was very early in the year when things started to come up. I would say October. Because it was going to be a while before we could all the nuero testing and evals done, we did decide to apply to a SN school for 2nd.

I’m the meantime we did do OG tutoring twice a week and addressed adhd for hyperactivity. So 5 months had passed before decisions were made. We were at a very well known school and then we also got accepted to 2 SN schools. Our daughter made huge strides in that 5 month period.

My husband and I met with the current school and we went over all the data and possibilities. We did that because we knew if we turn down the schools now, we probably would have to wait to apply for middle school or go public.  We decided to stay for 2nd grade. By the 3rd grade, everything just clicked all around. Still slow processing but could keep up and was on grade level.

Fast forward, she’s now a 7th grader at Holton and has done extremely well. It really just depends on the child.  You have to go with your gut. Just to put something in perspective, the SN schools want you to come there to stay and not come with a “fix my child” attitude so I can go back mainstream.  However, I know 2 parents, you did just that and left Lab after elementary and went mainstream.

I will say Lab elementary is great because you get a lot of individualized instruction because it’s very small for 1,2 and 3rd grade.[/quote]
