[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We started in a higher elementary grade a week after school started. I agree they must not have started calling off the waitlist until after school year began, or close to it, which definitely makes it harder on everyone. BUT we knew we would take the spot if offered and the kids and teachers have been amazing. My kid is adjusting quickly and very happy. Definitely glad we made the move.[/quote]

Glad it is going well.  What kind of explanation did you give your child?[/quote]

It wasn't easy but I explained that I felt like he was able to handle more academically than what he had at the current school and that we thought IT was good fit and that he was ready for it. We talked about how we would still see all of his old friends and make new as well as how after 4th grade many kids will leave his old school for different middle schools, etc. At first he was excited, but then was very sad when it all became real. Day 1 morning was tough but when I picked him up he was happy and had already made new friends. We are now 2 weeks in and no regrets.[/quote]
