DD and I sat down tonight and had a decent talk regarding this ADD stuff and her grades.

Her cheerleading is exactly why I'm in such a panic.
"To be eligible for interscholastic sports and activities at XXXX, a student must be carrying at least three classes and have earned at least a 2.0 average.
Students whose average was below 2.0 but above 1.5 with no failures during the previous quarter may participate on a probationary basis.
Hi and thank you!
Sadly the school will most likely not care about that if her grades make her ineligible...
Merry Christmas!
I guess I don't get why even though it's 6 years old (the diagnosis of add) why it would no longer be relevant.
I did not say the diagnosis was not relevant, but behavior and the ability to compensate for difficulties does. A 4th grader copes with things much differently than a 10th grader. I would contact the doctor asap to save time, but it may take 2 months as you say. I know that right now it does take us most of the allowed time to get to and complete an assessment due to the number that we have to complete. The doctor may be willing to write a letter saying that ADHD is present based on the past diagnosis, but I know schools and we would want a more recent picture of the child and how they present.
Is the home schooling agency attached to the school district? I know that only students enrolled in our high school or continuation school can participate in cheer, football, marching band, etc. Our home schooled students cannot as they are not members of our student body. Only students with at least a 2.0 and no F's can participate in these activities. I told the school that my daughter would not participate in color guard unless her grades improved and they said that without a 2.0 she couldn't, otherwise she could. I said that my rules were different based on my child and as long as mine exceeded theirs, I was fine! They didn't love me when she took a season off, but that's life!
I remember when T had a choice to make as to the alternative school or something else (and I think I will read back) because of his learning disabilities.
