[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We, too, received an "AAP Welcome" email today from our second-grader's principal and AAP resource teacher. They advised their email likely precedes the official email from the county. Our child attends a Local Level IV school, and is now eligible to attend a Level IV Center school -- and we understand decisions to accept placement are due May 4, 2021.[/quote] I am adding to my earlier post... As parents, we submitted a request for an assessment. We have one child, so we've not previously been through this process -- I came looking for dialogue on all of the possible considerations, and was a bit surprised in my read of the room.

I agree that these are extraordinary times. I'd previously made peace with the possibility of not being accepted, knowing that we'd guided our child through a very scary and possibly generation-defining year -- COVID, constant news of death (and some in the hands of authorities), Capitol riots... She nearly lost her grandparents to this illness; she saw us love them into recovery. We all made it through a summer without camps -- thank goodness for blow-up pools, parks and puppies. Somehow, we navigated virtual school and changing learning platforms -- thank goodness for our teachers. We prayed that we were demonstrating resilience and resolve, but the whole time, secretly wondering if we were ruining our child. And now we're rounding a corner. And vaccinated. Light at the end of the long, dark tunnel.

In all of that, I was prepared to be satisfied if she'd not been accepted. We all arrived in 2021 together. So many did not. [/quote]

Thank you for sharing all of that. Your kids are fortunate to have a mom with such a balanced and healthy perspective! ❤️[/quote]
