Rachel had her official 504 meeting with the school today to go over the accommodations that she will need and make them official. Thankfully Rachel only needs 3 more classes to graduate, one of which needs to be English. She decided to drop calculus and one of her science classes – either physics or A/P chemistry. She’d prefer to keep the chemistry class but they’re not sure if they can accommodate online labs. The physics teacher has waived the lab requirements for that class, but the A/P classes have more requirements that need to be met. She also dropped Intro to Sports Medicine, which was only a 1 semester class that hasn’t started yet. She will be keeping the English class, Mandarin 2 (they will be looking into getting her a Rosetta Stone license to work from home), Art 2, and one of the science classes. Since she’ll be missing so much school and her assignments will be modified so much that she won’t be doing the same assignments as the rest of her class. Her teachers said that she’s more than welcome to come to class whenever she feels up to it, but that there might not be much point because she won’t know what’s going on in the class. Sounds like the only class she can really attend will be art class, where she can work on whatever art project she wants when she’s there. 😦
The good news is that the school is making every accommodation needed so that she can graduate in June. Rachel was happy to be at the school and see her teachers – for the first time since November 10. She’s planning on going to her art class tomorrow.
