[QUOTE="weatheringthestorm, post: 128622, member: 4424"] Thanks for all the advice. No one ever called us about meeting. I assume he's not supposed to go to school Tues, but no one has contacted us to say for sure. I doubt they want me to just send him to school like normal on Tues. I'm not real sure what to do come Tues morning. Do we just go to the school with him and wait for someone to see us? Do we wait and schedule a meeting on Wed? I'm sure scheduling a meeting will result in my husband and I having to take less time off of work. I intend to call his psychiatrist first thing Monday morning. I don't know what she'll have to add, but it can't hurt. If the school tries to go too far with this we might need her on our side. The school is aware of his problems but his IEP is only for ADD because the psychiatrist wants to avoid having bi-polar, etc on his school docs. She says she's had too many of her patients singled out and discrminated against because of a record of mental illness, especially following the Virginia Tech shootings. Until now he was only having academic problems and not behavior problems. So, only having ADD on the IEP was ok. I do feel like his sophmore assistant principal has it in for him. She dealt with him for his first high school fight and first time being in trouble. He readily admitted to his part in things, was respectful, took his suspension with-o any conflict, etc. However, he would not say he was sorry he hit the other boy or that he could have dealt with the situation another way. Then in an IEP meeting a couple of weeks later she asked if he still thought the fight had solved the problem. He very politely said he did, the boy hasn't made anymore rude remarks about his mother. (The other kid had been saying things about me - he doesn't know me - that were, shall we say, rude for a two days during math class. At the end of the second class he waited for the kid to leave the class room and started hitting him.) Since then it seems as though she's had him marked as a bad seed. BUT, she wasn't the one that dealth with this whole bus thing and wasn't the one who he cussed out. As far as medications go he's taking the following: Wellbutrin, 200mg 2 x's a day, Seraquel, 25 mg 2 x's a day, Aderall 25 mg, Allegra 180mg, a multi vitamin, and Flaxseed oil. He went up to the higher dose of Wellbutrin about a week or two before Christmas. It seemed to have made a world of difference. Until this last week it's been great. He studied hard for finals, got good grades, was pleasant to be around, etc. We did tell him that we were all going to meet and that he had better admit to everything because we didn't want any surprises. He admitted to so much I'm REALLY hoping it's everything! He said he lost his cool and was screaming and swearing at the assistant principal for that campus. [/QUOTE]
