[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 46361, member: 805"] Linda, Couple things. First off, I don't remember if you son has an IEP or not. I would suggest, if he doesn't, that you start that ball rolling, especially given that he has behaviors that are questionable. If you start working on it now, it will be in place for next year (and will also show record that both you and the school are working on the behavior isues). If so, address some modifications and accomodations in his school day during these tough transition times to make sure they are followed by all school staff. Secondly, I would not attempt to contact this father personally unless you know the family pretty well. Otherwise, I would do one of two things. One, I would give the principal permission to tell the other parent that both the school and the boy's parent (you) are aware of these behaviors and are actively working on finding solutions. The young man is seeing a doctor and we are working with his family to resolve these issues. Which, in my opinion, is what the principal should have done in the first place before even telling you. Or two (or both one and two), I would write a letter to the other parent, reiterating the above along with an apology for your son's impulsive behavior. I am curious as to what the principal advised you to do or whether he/she wanted you to take this on yourself? Sharon [/QUOTE]
