[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 187265, member: 3444"] Thanks Terry and Sharon :) The principal called me this afternoon. Said she was looking forward to him coming back and that since they ALL know him, she agreed that is a plus in his favor. Not that the other school's principal would have been bad, but that it could take a whole year for him to really understand difficult child 2 -- and that certainly won't help. She's going to look critically at his homeroom placement to make sure he's not in a situation where his known antagonizers are all with him. She feels the teachers he'll have will be very good for him, too. They also want to get him involved in some activities that support his social skills training -- I guess I learn more about that next week. Then on Friday the 5th, the IEP team will meet to review his first week and discuss his current needs. So overall, I feel pretty good about it. Although he's disappointed about not getting into the other school, he's excited about the new teachers, especially since one is the father of a boy who he knows from class last year and who is also a neutral to positive force in the past. I was also able to ask about easy child/difficult child 3's placement -- her state testing came in just short of qualifying for GATE, but she'll most likely be put in the cluster group with high achievers, which pleases me very much.
