His First Visit To His New School

Kyle starts school in just a few days!  He will be starting 6th grade at a brand new school, in a new school district.

Day 1 of 5 = School

Kyle had his first day of preschool at the new school!  The teacher said there is only 5 days left of the school year and she voiced her concerns that there isn't enough time to acclimate him to their routine/schedule, but that she trusts the parents to make that decision.  We decided to start today and tomorrow as a "half day," meaning he would go from 8:20am until 10:30am. 

When we went to pick him up, I could tell the teacher was concerned that there is no language (which we are well aware of).  I think she was surprised!  I told her that he was in speech and occupational therapy and she would refer us to a speech therapist and an occupational therapist.  She also mentioned a "summer program" for children with special needs that Kyle would qualify for and it would be free of charge!  They also have beds so if they kids wanted to stay overnight, they could.  They can pet animals and ride horses, which I think Kyle would eventually like to do!  He especially likes to let animals lick him on the face! 

I like that we are now living in a "big city" because there seems to be more services available for Kyle.
