Ok, I know I didn’t post a second time last week and here we
are almost at the end of this week but here I am. After the rough start last week things did
seem to calm down a little for MAC. She hasn’t
completely found her footing but seems to finally be seeing a small niche that
she might fit into at CMS. Of course we
are down to the last few weeks of school.
There was another follow up meeting with the IEP team and we
are one step closer to making things happen.
It is so frustrating that there are so many steps required and that
although we have done most of them they need to be re-done before they can
issue an IEP. One of the biggest items
to come out of that meeting is that the “team” does not feel holding her in 8th
grade another would be beneficial. As
always there was the: “the high school has more services they can offer” and “if
she stays here and does nothing all we could do is send her to Phoenix where
there is no music or art”.
I don’t know how to feel, she has made friends who will be
going to the high school but promoting her without her knowing what she should
at the end of 8th grade seems ridiculous to me. MAC has said that even if she is kept back
that she doesn’t want to be there and will do the same thing next year.
