My husband, ex-wife, and I all felt this was the best option for her in the long run.

She isn't liking the idea, but we hope she understands in the long run.

what a big change - and a great time to do it. with your support, I'm certain she'll do well!

We are really working to make this as positive as possible. She has said she wants to play the Oboe and be in debate later in HS.

I will have to get with you to discuss this. I have my concerns about the project based school too.

But, considering my son, it is probably best for him there.

Hannah was really thriving too, but there were more pros to cons in making this change.

BLyn: I would be glad to talk with you more about this anytime.

that was a hard decision for our family. The project-based environment was the best experience for our daughter too.

she is doing OK in a traditional setting, but is missing a lot of opportunities that were offered at the other school.

adjustments have come, but slowly and in some cases reluctantly.

so time really will heal?

yes, time really does heal...

my son is enjoying most of his day at IES. Two highly energetic teachers are making his day fun and challenging.

I am just now hearing about this for the first time! Wow, I will miss seeing her smiling face. I know she wasn't my student this year

but she will always be my student in my heart! I know she will do well wherever she goes-she is an awesome kid.

It has been hard on all of us to make this decision. We know she is one of those kids who can adapt anywhere.

we felt the same when we transferred Ben from Inman to here to middle school and then from here to Buhler for HS. Always hard, but you

honeymic: You had such a large part of her success and where she is today. We are so thankful for her time with you.

have to make those tough decisions as a parent. I hope she is seeing the positives and opportunities that a new school can bring.

I will always be thankful she was my student for 4th grade. She is a special one. Thanks to both of you for trusting me with your girl!

why did you move her??

This was something we knew would eventually be happening as she got older so she could take part in the extracurricular activities.

A situation at school just sealed the timing of the move.

so the other school is only up to 8th grade??

honeymic you have had such a positive influence on a number of students. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

bentleyr:You don't know how happy I am that Paige is doing so well.I knew she would, but I'm just so proud to hear of her successes in 5th.

MACHCAROL: We will keep her in this school district through HS now.
