I totally forgot to post that JD is all registered for kindergarten at Piney Ridge ES - mascot...the Dalmations. We went on the only day they had evening hours. Luckily I had alot of the paper work filled out from the PDFs online and had all the support documents we needed to take with us. That didn't mean there wasn't more to fill out when we got there. LOL The principal already knows us from all of the IEP meetings (she comes to them since Piney Ridge is JD's home school) and she was happy to finally meet JD. We also ran into his buddy Maxwell and his parents there. Max is still in the program at Carrolltowne and was so excited to know he's going to have a friend at school. Not sure if they will be in the same classroom, but they will probably see each other. We scheduled our kindergarten assessment appointment and also found out that there will be a back to school night before school starts just for kindergarteners. The kids get to meet their classmates, meet the teachers and take a ride on the bus. (The bus is old hat for JD since he used to take it to Carrolltowne.) The only thing left to decide is whether we'll be doing before and after care or just before care. Reece's schedule has changed again and he'd be home in time to get JD off the bus...for now.
We were given a workbook for him also. All the kids get one at the end of the year so they don't lose any skills over the summer. (Summer homework?!) Anyway, the kids turn the book in the first day of school and if they have 80% completed, they get a special prize. According to the principal, the prize really motivates the kids...we'll see. LOL They said to wait til summer to start working on it, but since JD is no longer in school, I might get moving on that with him to keep his skills up. Let the homework begin...hopfully with no struggles and fights!
