I'm trying to not be irritated.
From the beginning of this year I've asked the best way to quickly get ahold of Q's teacher. Last year and summer the teachers gave us their work cell numbers so I could text if a schedule change happened or could respond quickly if they had a question. This school is so much bigger and they have walkies that are not going through the building so the office can't get ahold of people. There is a class phone and email. But they have to be there and check it.
Several times they have said either the teacher or aide checks the phone messages throughout the day.
So yesterday his neurofeedback cancelled. I quickly arranged for a bus. Called the teacher line to explain there would be a bus not my car. Please prep him it may not be his driver. I also sent an email. Since it was 12 and they made such a big deal over my being worried for nothing I left it at that.
Q gets home. Class email says transition at end of day was difficult. Q says they were looking for me and then someone went up and checked and saw the bus was coming.
So, we survived his crabbiness but???
I wrote and asked if they got the phone and email message, playing dumb. He said not till 240 when they had already gone down. He then said, WE ARE OUT SO MUCH AFTER NOON WE DONT USUALLY CHECK THE PHONE OR EMAIL AFTER 12. WTH?
And to say it didnt come till 240?.....BOTH THE PHONE AND EMAIL? he is lying. The time stamp on my phone is 12:37. Why not just say, sorry....we missed it but we will do better.?
Also, after the IEP meeting last Tues, we compromised on using their behavior person instead of the independent behavior analyst since things were going better and they repeated they are committed to keeping him there (we'll see).
I asked how long before things would be arranged? Oh, by the end of the week. As if.that was a silly question. I said I didn't want it to drag out and they giggled. It's now been over a week and no permission to assess, no assessment plan presented. I left the law advocate out of it because she is so ****** off anyway. But if they don't respond to my request by tomorrow I'm going to let her have my emails.
Finally I've asked for a teacher conference since Nov. As I told you all before, just a normal non IEP meeting to see his school work. He had said it had to be an iep meeting....thats not true so I went above him and they said oh yeah they've done that. Usually they combine it but Q's IEP meetings are all behavior and IEP goals. They said of course we can have a parent teacher conference. Believe it or not, there is more to school. Math, reading, science, social studies, etc. LOL.
Still no dates offered as I've now requested three times.
I put all this in another email and cc'd it to his uppers and our home psychiatric.
So, trying to just deal with it while my son is melting away with stress.....trying not to just be so annoyed.
