[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 363879, member: 805"] Since you haven't done a profile signature yet, I'm not sure what age your difficult child is. I do know that at my difficult child's elementary school, in school suspension could mean sitting in the office all day. If the teacher had time to send work, the did. If not, the student read or was bored all day. Better than being home watching tv or on the computer or making a parent miss work. In middle school, there is actually a room up on the third floor of the building that is the ISS room. The student has to spend the day up there and the group goes to lunch after the rest of the student body is done - they sit them each at their own table so there is no talking. Same thing applies as far as work - if the teacher has time to gather it up, they get it. But in reality - if a child is suspended, the school has no responsibility to see the student gets their work. It's part of the consequence. However, ISS (in school suspension) requires the same written notification as out of school suspension. As a parent, you have a right to know that your child has been given ISS and the paperwork is supposed to be placed in the student's file. It might very well be a case that the VP was not sure what to do. The fact that your difficult child has an IEP does not mean that she can not be suspended. Is there a BIP in place? If so, do you know if it was followed? I would definitely be up at school today. If the principal had told me "I don't know" after I asked what was going to happen today, I would have been livid. I probably would have said, "That's not good enough". Put an extra book or two in her backpack (just in case it's another ISS day) and then go up there, like Heather suggested, about 30-60 minutes after school starts. Ask to see the principal and find out where your daughter is today. If she's in the office again, ask to see the incident report that gave her ISS. Good luck. Sharon [/QUOTE]
