Here we go again!
difficult child 2 has only 5 minutes between 4th and 5th period this year in which to get from one class to the health office to take his medications and then off to the next class. It just can't be done.
He's stressed about his 4th period band teacher who (he says) gets upset if anyone leaves early or during a song. And he says his 5th period teacher gets weird if anyone comes in late with a call slip from the office. I don't know if difficult child 2 is being overly sensitive or if these two men are truly on a power trip. Either way, they need to be more flexible for difficult child 2. So this is the email I sent last night, copying both teachers and difficult child 2's SpEd teacher:
No reply yet this morning, but hopefully this is a non-issue with them and we can just move forward smoothly.

Dear Mr. A & Mr. B,
difficult child 2 has to visit the school health office every day to take medication at 12:30pm. Last year this conveniently coincided with his lunch recess. This year, however, he has only five minutes between the 4th and 5th period classes he has with you to get to the health office, wait for the medication to be dispensed by the health clerk or another staff member, and then continue on to class.
I hope we can all agree to either excuse him from 4th period a few minutes early or grant him an excused tardy to 5th period so that he can take care of this matter each day without adding undue stress and anxiety.
Please advise which arrangement you would both prefer so that I can tell difficult child 2 what is expected.
Thank you for your continuing support,
