Parent Teacher Conferences

The Super Kid had his parent teacher conferences this week.  What a difference a few years can make!  The teacher we had the conference with told me what a great kid he is, how hard working, how smart, good at school, enjoys his classes, has so many good things to add to discussions, etc etc.  Getting those learning disabilities diagnosed and then getting a school who was committed to getting him caught up was a huge turning point for him :)  He's caught up to his classmates (and passed them in some areas), he's in all gen ed classes now, he's found ways that work for him to learn and process and apply what he's learning so those learning disabilities aren't slowing him down :)  The only issue we have is he is still distractible and unorganized and any dips in grades aren't academic because he knows the material, its usually losing homework, forgetting to turn stuff in, etc.  His pro-time teacher (homeroom) wants to followup with his teachers and keep me updated if he's missing stuff so we can address it before grades get turned in because he's had that followup support daily in the past and it appears he's not quite ready to do it solo ;)  She's aiming for a weekly or bi-weekly checkin so he's still got the daily responsibility of getting it down but if he's slipping, we catch it before report cards.
