that I LOVE this school? We had the IEP review today to review Vic's old IEP with the new school. They suggested that the school guidance counselor observe him in class for a few days. When I mentioned that Victor doesn't like people with facial hair, that it "creeps him out". They immediately went looking for someone who could report to the counselor on their observation findings without having the counselor with full beard in the room. After I mentioned this, they asked if he had any other quirks. I mentioned about sitting on the right of people and being last in line and their faces lit up. Every teacher in there started making notes about these quirks so they knew to avoid them.

When I mentioned that I was not happy with anything that the other school system did for Vic, they suggested taking the findings of the old evaluations and tweek them themselves. I couldn't believe it. They mentioned that Victor has the most modifications of anyone in the 6th grade class however they are all about making sure that he's 100% organized and self sufficient by the end of th year.

Okay, now I'm done. I'm so happy with this school system.

What a nice story to hear! We often forget that we need the positive story's just as much as the "I need to vent/negative" storys that we read :)

I hope you guy have a great year with this school!

It's so nice to hear a positive story about a school district. They really do seem to get it! I hope it continues!
