We are waiting to figure out the PS schedule. She will definitely go for Band and Spanish, and either Math or Science. PS classes wouldn't be my first choice academically, but she loves a classroom environment, and the kids seemed nicer than the homeschool co-op kiddos who picked on her for being different.
