So, my son 'K' is in his third month of 1st grade, early in his kindergarten year his teacher had expressed concerns about his impulsiveness and inability to remain still and stay focused (which still sounds a little absurd to me, they're 5 years old) anyway... about halfway through kindergarten K was diagnosed with ADHD and after a very long bout of inner turmoil mom and dad decided to medicate.) There was a small window where there was some improvement but now in 1st grade, after having a few talks with his teacher it seems that he's having problems behaving. On more than one occasion she has used the phrase "doesn't get anything done in class" yet, everyday i sit and complete homework with him. He doesn't seem to have any problems with the work.
I apologize if this post seems like random babbling, my head is just filled with all questions, feelings etc.
Anyway, after a school site council meeting last week, the principle mentioned to me that they wanted to schedule a SST (student success team / student study team) for K and us. Not even sure what i'm looking for here but if anyone has any anecdotes or information that may benefit, i would love to hear it. I don't want to walk into the meeting empty handed so to speak. I found this thread here but can't find any info from my school's or district's website.
thanks for any help
