[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 6637"] Thanks! smallworld - This was an informal meeting to try to stop things from escalating to actual charges. However, truancy was never even mentioned. In fact, after the Assistant Principal and I had talked for quite a while the mediation officer (in her two sentences) said, "This is why we get involved. In order to start these conversations." And the Assistant Principal stated that she knew I was doing a good job in getting difficult child to school. [img]:hammer:[/img] Martie - One of my thoughts today was, how much did the Assistant Principal really know before today? I did ask her what made her finally get involved and she did dance a little around that issue. Actually, I think it's because I contacted the Student Services Director and told them that they wouldn't even sit down for intervention and that I was sending the letter requesting evaluations in order to force their hand. However, I do not think she was aware of the extent of conversations between guidance counselor and myself and therapist. She had not seen a lot of the information that had already been provided and she was obviously annoyed at some of the "information" I had been given. As parents of a difficult child we understand that a lot of times these kids break down after school not during school because they are maintaining during school and it takes so much emotional energy to do so. Before I had a chance to explain that to the Assistant Principal she made that statement herself. Bonus points for her! Everyone else just says - well she's fine at school, I don't think there's any problem. Thanks to all of you for your ideas, advice and support. I'll update again tomorrow and let you know how the meeting with the school pyschologist goes. [img]:warrior:[/img] [/QUOTE]
