And very glad to read it----thanks much. And thanks to Caroline Gaibel; I had a very difficult time in middle school myself. (Though I later taught middle schoolers and really enjoyed it.)

I like getting one tip a week instead of doing the whole thing for twenty bucks since no time to read a lot. FYI - Kristina - I am going to post a link next here that will most likely end in moderation, but it is a positive spin on a school in FL. Guess there is some good in that state.

I appreciate that you are dealing with issues relating to autism which is a challenge, to say the least. I just wanted to add that a transition to middle school is a challenge in itself for any child, and we took it upon ourselves to offer a free service to parents to make that challenge more manageable and structured.

My son will be going to summer school once he is done with third grade. Once he is in middle school, I doubt he will get such services over the summer. He is so boarderline as to need/doesn't need, we just can't predict yet. Still, I am nervous...wanting all that will benefit him; yet, at the same time, wanting him to have progressed enough not to need it. Keep us updated on Charlie's new experiences as a middle schooler!! Congratulations to Charlie! My son will be going to summer school once he is done with third grade.
