[QUOTE="Christy, post: 298255, member: 225"] So sorry for all the stress this is causing you! The first day of school is an exciting time for most parents but for difficult child parents it can be a huge source of anxiety. I would try YET AGAIN to get someone to talk to you about a plan prior to school starting. Maybe going to the school in person and asking to see the principal. If he refuses to see you, state that it absolutely necessary that you meet with him prior to the start of school. Still no meeting, go over his head and file a complait with the school board and department of education. I know that you don't want to start difficult child off on the wrong foot but it is unlikely that things will fall into place at this late date and I think it is important for him to be a part of the beginning days of school. Otherwise, he'll miss out on all the class rules, routines, procedure for putting things away, getting to know each other activities, etc... and it will add to his discomfort level. Unless you are concerned for his safety, I'd send him. I would also write a note saying that you expect that difficult child will be going a full day and riding the bus home. Call or email the teacher on the first day and ask to meet with her/him as soon as possible. Should difficult child get into any trouble, state that you feel he needs additional adult suppoort in the classroom and would benefit from a 1:1. Good luck! Christy [/QUOTE]
