Anyone going to school part time?

My son (14 yrs, 8th grade middle school) is getting to the point where he just can't make it through the school day. We go to public school and they are good about working with us to modify assignments, etc, but it's just not enough. Joe isn't sick enough to be put into the hospital, but he's not well enough to be at his top baseline levels where he can get through the day either. I'm thinking of asking to modify his schedule to go in late and miss the first 2 hours daily and either make them up through online options or working on our own or just not doing them. Currently my son tries to make it to school, but often calls after 2 or 3 hours needing to come home and do treatments, rest, etc before going back in the afternoon. We end up with him missing parts of ALL the classes as he comes/leaves at different parts of the day. Last year he ended up with "K" letter grades (Pass or Credit) instead of letter grades for most of his classes. I'm not at the point where we can home school and I'd like him to keep up with the social aspect of school as he really does get a lot out of it when he's there. We have a 504 Plan in place that can be modified. I'm just curious if anyone has suggestions or options that have worked for them as their kids get older. Middle school/elementary grades don't seem too important as nothing goes forward. We have a tutor (my aunt) that helps with math and he does a lot of reading on his own too. Does anyone do a half-day or partia...
