[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 313092, member: 6546"] Thanks everyone for the helpful suggestions!! TM and JJJ--we agree! No more school trips until this mess is sorted out! Going North--We implemented your Mom's phone call policy. We told difficult child that all phone calls must now take place in public areas of the house. Daisy--You're right...school stuff is school stuff unless difficult child involves me. And she involved me--so NOW I AM INVOLVED!!!! Marg and TM--I hadn't thought of the legal repercussions for the school. Thank you for making that point! The trip sponsors could really get into a lot of trouble if they really lost track of a minor while on a trip. Loth--We tried your advice and told difficult child that we would write a letter to the principal and the school superintendent about what happened. We told her that the club would probably get into a lot of trouble for leaving her stranded with no way to get home. difficult child agreed that it would be a good idea to send the letter. Susie, Marg--You will be proud of me! Today (Monday morning), I put on my best "worried parent" face and visited the school. I personally delivered the letters to the principal etal AND I asked whether any notes might have been sent home recently. Turns out, there may have been a Warning Notice sent home to notify us that difficult child is failing Math. It ALSO appears that she has been cutting classes. Right now, I am waiting to hear back from individual teachers in regards to specifics. We'll see what sort of consequences there will be. If the school confirms skipped classes, difficult child will be suspended... Not sure about forging signatures. Will keep you posted. --DaisyFace [/QUOTE]
