[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 302116, member: 1169"] Susie, I have a more unique situation here. I'm actually the one fighting the school district to keep him partial day. If he is woken up too early (for him anytime before 9:00 or 9:30am) more than 1-2 days in a row, it throws him into a severe depressive state. We tracked it last year when we tried full days. He got more work done at school when he attended partial days and was a happier child. In our state, our schools have the [I]option[/I] of retaining a child who misses 10% of more of the total school year (18 days) with unexcused absences. But our schools don't retain special education children nor do they retain kids who miss but have all passing grades. We have a doctors note that restricts Tigger to starting at 10:30am, so his late start would be considered "excused" anyway. [B]PROBLEM SOLVED[/B] The program supervisor was not happy to find out that all of her special kids from these two schools were getting pick up early. She 'corrected' that with transportation and now Tigger's bus will be later, he will have his orchestra sectional without having to give up anything else, and the teacher will have another small block of time to teach :) I need to remind myself that this is not last year and that these staff do seem to care :) [/QUOTE]
