New School Year Anxiety

I find myself getting more and more anxious as the new school year approaches. I live in a rural area with teachers in the later stages of their careers. So every year it is the same thing, educate the teacher on what they should already know. Jerrod is in a class of 22 with 4 boys on the spectrum,that is close to 25% or 1 in 4 and the national average is 1 in 150. I know that the accomodations for all of the kids are scary big but I just want a year with fewer "stupid" fights. I know positive attitude is everything but I'm already anticipating battles. Who even thinks about teaching cursive when as of April the kid is over a year behind in reading. See what I mean about stupid. Any words of wisdom are appreciated.
