[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 400199, member: 1157"] I definitely think getting the counselor involved is a good idea, as well as a resource officer if your child's school has one. When Youngest began refusing to go to school (in high school, mind you), I called the attendance office every morning she refused, and said "Youngest is refusing to attend today, I'm just letting you know." I let her counselor know I was doing this. This was more of a CYA move than anything, since *I* could be charged with allowing her to be truant if I simply ignored it. It also let Youngest know that there would be no "excused" absences. Honestly by that point, as a teenager, she didn't really care much.. but I think at this younger age, it might have an impact on your son if you let him know you won't "cover" for him. I think since this isn't a pattern just yet, you have a good chance of nipping it in the bud before it gets out of control. [/QUOTE]
