[QUOTE="katya02, post: 203862, member: 2884"] I'm chiming in late here, but what our family doctor did, when my easy child 2 son was having multiple absences with migraines, was to write a letter to the school giving easy child 2's diagnosis, the fact that he was under continuing medical treatment for the condition, and saying that the doctor trusted me, the mom, to make the medical judgment of when easy child 2 needed to stay home due to a migraine. After that the school accepted notes from me. We had had a letter about easy child 2 failing due to too many absences as well, which was nuts ... he was 2nd in his class at the high school. We checked with the school board and medically excused absences are not counted when considering whether to pass or fail a student. You might check on this in your district. Also, did I understand correctly that the school NURSE does the 504 plans? Umm ... this sort of thing is normally done with the Special Education people who know the law, using information provided by your child's doctors. The nurse should receive a copy of the 504 plan but she shouldn't be writing it. [/QUOTE]
