Teacher Comments:  Jacob has been making strides in improving his grades for English and History to bring his grades up from a C since his Midterm grades were released. Jacob has had some issues with his vision over the past couple months that *may* hinder his ability to do classes online next semester. He is scheduled to see a neuro-opthalmologist on December 5th and then scheduled for an MRI on December 9th. He *may* have an issue with retina detachment. I will keep the school district posted as to what is going on with him if his IHIP should need adjustment with regard to that.
