Bad News or Is It?

We just found out that the school we were planning on S attending didn't accept her. We spoke with someone back in May that made it seem like a done deal, all we had to do is make a decision and let them know. She was supposed to let us know when they hired the new teacher so we could interview her. I didn't hear anything, so I decided to email her about 2 weeks ago. I finally made an appt to see the principal last Thursday. She made it seem like she would get back to me soon. I emailed the original person who I spoke with in May and I didn't hear back from her. The principal called me today and said they decided not to take her because there was no one else her age in this program. It didn't really make sense because they want her to eventually be with the other kids in the regular classroom. There are only 8 or so children in the entire program K-8, so no one has more than 1 person their age. I am really upset that they couldn't have let me know sooner or let me know that she might not get in. Now I'm forced to look at another school and decide by next week. She has to be registered by 8/2 for her scholarship. I have to accept that it was meant to be this way and when one door closes, another opens. Maybe this other school will be the best thing for her and all will work out great. I just hate that I don't have many choices. NR went great today, hallelujia!
