Our principal is our LEA rep and she walked in the room, said "oh this is for Ellie - I LOVE Ellie." I knew then it was going to go well. That little child of mine has charmed just about everyone she could in that school. I keep saying the principal makes the school and somehow my kids won that lottery.
The OT was going to drop us, but I hesitated enough that she agreed to 6x a semester and available for consult as needed. Speech got dropped to 12 times a marking period (9 weeks).
We have resource 1x a week which I am exteremely happy about. The resource teacher is an autism specialist and I have been picking her brain since Ellie was diagnosed.
She will have the teacher that I want, who has known Ellie since she was a baby and who takes the harder kids from pre-K. Ellie will be the only one in her class from pre-K - the rest are out of district, so that is good.
So she will go to K as a 4.75 year old, she will be 5 on Oct 6 - 9 days before the cutoff that would have sent her to pre-K. I made it very clear in the meeting that I am for her repeating K next year with a different teacher and the principal said she would work with me to make sure I was satisfied. If all else fails, I will pull her and do private K again. I am OK with her going, I want to continue the speech (excellent teacher) and I want her to have this K teacher and I don't she will be there in two years.
