[quote=Anonymous]DD is currently in 8th grade in MCPS, and is going through a an illness that will take at least six months to resolve.  We will need to have a fair number of hospital visits and therapies for quite some time.  We are not sure if repeating 8th grade is an option that the school would agree to.  She is definitely not socially/emotionally ready for 9th grade.  DD is also not so keen on doing 8th grade all over again, although she really did not have 8th grade due to all her health issues this past year.  She has few friends in school so socially I am not sure if keeping her behind one year is an issue.

Due to all the therapies sessions and hospital visits we will have, I like to prioritize her health first.  I was thinking about the possibility of just home schooling her.  We can repeat the material of 8th grade and enroll in 9th grade the following year.  So essentially, I will keep her behind one year with the option of home schooling.  Does anyone know if this is viable in MCPS?   Any insights is greatly appreciated.[/quote]
