Skyview held an evening visit event for next school year's seventh graders, of which Rowen is one. He was quite excited about visiting, but proved to be rather timid when I introduced him to any of the staff. He has concerns about getting lost and not being able to open his locker, but he's also really excited about taking art and woods.
I, too, am both excited and concerned about him going to the middle school. Our experience with Sterling Elementary has been excellent as the staff there has been a great help with Rowen and his unique needs. The staff that I know at Skyview are also wonderful, but it is a bigger school with quite a few more students. Unlike Connor, Rowen does not tend to stand out, or (at least) not in the same ways. However, this will also be a great chance for him to grow and make new friends.
It will also make our daily schedule a great deal easier. Janelle will not need to drive to Sterling before heading back to Soldotna for work, and I will not need to head out right away after work to pick him up in Sterling before dealing with any tasks in the evening. As I am fully aware of the finite nature of time, I try to never wish to speed up events or skip time; still, I am really looking forward to seeing how this upcoming school year works out.
