I Am Very Proud of Him.
Dylan’s case manager sent me a note this week.
Given that I have been so focused on how terrified I am, that Dylan will fail his first quarter of tenth grade without my heroic assistance, I decided to post the case manager’s note here.
Please note that, on this day, Dylan has an A in Foundations of Technology, five B’s, a C in his AP class (“It’s hard, Mom!”) and a D in Algebra 2 – only because he hasn’t finished a quiz that he’s tried to finish several times. He is actually heading for Honor Roll again!
And here is what his case manager said:
I just met with Dylan. Dylan and I chart his grades whenever we meet. I don’t know if you see this, but today compared to his last meeting with me the computer science and chorus grades stayed the same and all other grades improved. Additionally, many grades are high percentages for moving up to the next letter grade. Dylan knew this before we even began to look at his grades. He could tell me what was missing/waiting for teacher to enter grade/to complete before I even looked at the class. He is very focused and aware of his progress and what he needs to do to improve. Compared to last year, work completion and turn in has greatly improved. For example, in Algebra all assignments are turned in and he will be meeting with (his Algebra teacher) to take the quiz. Not to say that he doesn’t still need support, but progress comes at steps at a time not miles. I am very proud of him.
I am proud of him, too. I have read this note six gazillion times.
You GO, Dylan!
