[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 63101, member: 1967"] I think it is great that the school reached out to you and wants to keep communication open. I've heard many complaints on this board that the school personnel did not notify them when changes like this were made. I think you can meet with the teachers on a simple get to know them basis. You don't have to say anything negative about your difficult child. Just approach it as wanting to meet them and letting them know that you want to work together as a team and keep the lines of communication open. I would also mention that your difficult child has an IEP without getting into any specifics. It is possible that Lisa's son's teachers were telling her the truth about not knowing that a child has an IEP. There have been times that due to a mixup I did not know that a student in my class had an IEP until the end of the semester. It wasn't intentional ~ most of the time it was the result of a schedule change followed by a slip up in communication between the Special Education and regular ed teachers. Teachers are human, after all. My advice is to approach the year with a positive attitude and hope for the best. Let's hope that you will be pleasantly surprised! ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
