[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 432881, member: 1991"] I can vouch for this. When difficult child 3 transferred form our local school to the highway school, the old school actually sent his files along with me, I had an armful of files in my car. In order to carry them from my car to the new school office, I quickly grabbed a very gaudy carry bag that I'd just got as a freebie in a magazine. I wanted my bag back, so I asked the staff to please give me back my bag when they had put all difficult child 3's files away. One term later, and we realised difficult child 3 was not going to make it in any mainstream school. In that time we'd had two IEP meetings, there had been other meetings with other disability support staff, difficult child 3 had his aide transfer form the local school to his new school so he had continuity - and when I went to clean out his desk, I was given my gaudy carrier bag - with all the files still in it, not touched or looked at. "Haven't had time," I was told. And that was a GOOD school! The other point - that bag was a mix of colours, mostly fluoro orange, red and pink. No way could you miss it. I think writing the letter is a good idea. Chances are, it will have more long-term benefit for your son, than anything else you could do. Marg [/QUOTE]
