Student Focus: Meet Peyton

This post was written by Meghan Leffew, one of our FLVS Full Time Elementary parents.

As a mother, I an incredibly thankful for FLVS Full Time. My son is five and this is his first year of school. He was recently diagnosed with a rare genetic mutation that causes things like neutropenia and leukemia. I only had two choices for his education – to hold Peyton out of Kindergarten or take a chance.

We decided to enroll Peyton into FLVS Full Time three weeks before school started.

Everyone was so wonderful helping me get everything together to enroll him. Ms. Galarza was amazing and made sure that Peyton had his 504 Plan in place before school even began. Peyton is homebound and he wears a mask when he goes outside due to risk of infection, so attending a brick-and-mortar school is not an option for him.
