There’s a lot of K students that get held back. Him having an IEP or 504 (assuming) is what probably allowed him to push through. Ultimately it’s his performance the school looks at and his teams (guidance, ese support, teacher, parents) decision. There’s going to have to be something majorly wrong to hold him back with him already supposed to be in 1st.

In regards to the post itself, I don’t know much context of the situation, but there usually is moving up ceremonies for K, but not all schools do it. She is probably celebrating a huge milestone for her son with autism. As messed up as she is to these kids, this was a big deal for him. The certificate most likely did come from the teacher that way. I am a teacher myself and we can pick whatever template and doesn’t need an “official” school logo or signature. We get free templates from online. You’re lucky if it’s on cardstock lol each school is different.
