So we headed down to the local public school (Edna Staebler) to register Fox for school and it wasn’t actually too bad. We talked with a teacher and the principal and they came across as supportive and willing to work with us, which is a far cry from some of the horror stories we’ve heard. Of course, it was really only the preliminary stuff – we just filled out the registration forms which were straightforward enough. We’re still hoping to get into Kidsability, but this second option is not looking nearly as onerous as I’d feared. Sure, we’ll still have to do a lot more ground work if we end up going to public school, but it’s amazing how the attitude of the teachers factors into making you feel at ease.
That said, we still need to decide whether we’re even going to send Fox into Junior Kindergarten. The JK program is alternating full days, 2 or 3 times a week. Fox has been doing alright with Nursery school which is a half day, but we’re not sure how he’ll do with a full day schedule. It’s something to ponder anyway.
We heard back from our KW Hab resource and it sounds like the real work won’t happen for a while, so we have time to regroup and find out exactly what the next steps are.
