We have a new principal, a terrific school and the best second grade teacher anyone could hope for. What’s not to love?

A couple of questions for the greater community: Why do they have to wait until 4:00 pm on the Friday before school is to begin before posting the teacher and class rosters? I know the roster was available before that date, I saw it – accidentially, but there it was as plain as Friday at 4:00. And, we have been VERY fortunate to have teachers who truly differentiate the curriculum as needed to keep our daughter learning nearly every day. What are other people’s experiences with differentiation on from third grade forward?
