[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 70636, member: 1967"] I think that you did a good job but would take out the references to the old school. Just focus on the problem at hand. By bringing up the old school problems it makes you sound like you are just impossible to please and will be a chronic complainer (I know that is not true but remember that no one at this school knows you yet). You were calm and stated the situation clearly. I also liked that you stressed you concern about his health and focused on the effect eating the wrong food has on his behavior. I would also try to word it as an appeal to make it a team effort to make sure that your difficult child doesn't eat the wrong foods. After all, it is in the teacher's best interest to keep your child focused and on task by keeping him away from foods that might cause a reaction. I hope that helps. Do keep in mind that this is the first week of school. It might take a few days to get a routine down. I had a parent email me the second day of school to ask me if her 15 year old son had worn an earring to school the day before. I didn't have a clue who her son was or what period he was in never mind whether he wore an earring or not.
