Hi Heather, I wanted to let you know that Sully did great on his Woodcock-Johnson testing in Jacksonville last week. The school we are applying to administered it privately, but they shared the results with me. I thought you would like to know since he took so many reading classes with you to prepare. He’s loved having your classes and did fantastic on his Woodcock-Johnson test. Thanks for everything!
