A new Bulldog

Today was Logan's ARD (Admission, Review & Dismissal) meeting at Birnham Woods Elementary School.  Technically Logan is a transfer student so there should have been nothing to nervous about - but we had such a good experience in CT that I was nervous about a new experience.

Turns out there was nothing to worry about :)

Everyone thought Logan was supercute & they are excited to have him in the school.  They were friendly & helpful. We left having a great first impression of the school & the staff.   

Whew.

He will be enrolled in PPCD (Preschool Program for Children with Disabilities). Unlike his Lisbon, CT school, he will be in a classroom with only Special Needs children.  The classroom is set up to help kiddos like Logan succeed -there will be one teacher & two assistants.  He will receive Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapy.  He will ride a bus that will pick him up at our door, put him in a carseat & get him to school by 7:45 - then seat him up again for the ride home at 10:45, Monday-Friday. 

In 30 days, after his teachers/therapist have a chance to get to know him we will review & re-evaluate his IEP (Individualized Education Program) & adjust depending on his needs.  

I have a feeling Logan will shine and be a super charmer.  I'm excited to see him be excited for school again :)

He could potentially start with the rest of the school on Monday :o   As in today is Thursday then Friday  then the weekend and then his 1st day of school!!!!

I think it is a delightful thing that Logan & Daddy just happened to wear the same outfit and then come to find out Navy Blue and Khaki are the Birnham Woods Bulldogs school colors.  :)

I'm so happy that this meeting happened and went as well as it did.  Second to buying a house, getting Logan situated with school was a high stressER for us moving to Texas.  Done & Done.  Good things are beginning.
