Guest guest Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Maybe whoever answered the phone was having a bad day. If you don't think that is what was going on, do you take your son to school or pick him up? If not, set a teacher conference. I'd ask the teacher what method of communication they prefer and what works for them. (Some have given me their personal cell #s, others prefer to email). If that doesn't get the results you need, the next step is the principal, then superintendent, then school board. Depends on how far you want to take it. Be sure to mention the medical reason you were trying to check on your son. Tonya -----Original Message----- From: Texas-Autism-Advocacy On Behalf Of sierramillie Can any one advise me what to do. I have a 5 .5 boy with PDD/Autism. The school front line employees receptionists/secretaries have the most horrible gate keeper attitudes I am so new at this and I have only one child. It may be only NORMAL for their attitudes to be abrasive. I had 2 different scenarios on which I just could not get info on my child The first one. My child had a medical procedure for which he needed sedation. Usually he has reaction to the sedation not matter what type it's used. The day after the procedure, I send him to school he was fine in the morning. However, I wanted to check on him I called the school to speak to his teacher the school secretary did not connect my call to the classroom. She said: " Lady you need to wait to the teacher conference time. It's a school policy not to connect any ph calls to teacher class room " hung up.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Also, ANY time anyone says " It's school policy that.. . . . " Ask to see it in writing. If the receptionist can't produce it in writing, then inform her it's just her opinion and not the school policy. It's a little odd that the principal didn't return your calls--although it may also " before spring break " hectic rush. Since the principal has been ignoring your calls, I would jot down a " letter to a stranger " in wrightslaw format-- www.wrightslaw.com --and just recount very nicely that you had a medical reason to check on your child. The receptionist told you about the school's policy of which you are unaware that " blah blah blah. " State that you are writing because you called at such and such and time and date and haven't had your phone calls returned. Request that the principal send you a copy of the policy so that you can keep it with your son's school records. Keep a copy of this letter, as you may need to start documenting that the school is closing you out of the loop when you have legitimate medical concerns--(post sedation check in is a legitimate concern) and TEA doesn't like to see parents closed out like that. You should be getting a call back after they receive the letter. Good luck, S. what are my rights? Can any one advise me what to do. I have a 5 .5 boy with PDD/Autism.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 I don't know what school system you are in, but with regards to eating lunch with your child, there is no policy that I am aware of that says you can not eat with or bring your child lunch.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 The nutrition rules that the state has set for schools only apply to what the school serves.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 oh good grief. Like the school cafeteria is the font of good nutrition? Hmm what's more nutritious, the pizza, or the deep fried chicken nuggets or would it be the deep friend popcorn shrimp? Give me a break. And though there is usually salad on the menu, I'd betcha it's a using that nutritionally " rich, dark green leaf " iceberg lettuce. Hmmm, and how much sugar syrup is there on the fruit that they are serving the kids??????? That's definately one that needs request for the written policy. I would frankly ask them to prove that their lunch is more nutritious than than what you bring from home. If it is ending up that your son isn't eating, then perhaps you need a doctor's note on this.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Who knows? I know my son can bring his lunch, but if I pack something in it that is against the rules, e.i. a piece of candy- he's not allowed to eat it IMO, that's b.s. As I told the principal the day my son came home from school with his tootsie roll still in his lunch box, I am the parent and if I say it's okay for him to have candy, that's MY decision as a parent. She said it was a rule like the dress code. I was so angry, I looked up the nutritional information and found out the tootsie roll had more nutritional value than the 100% fruit juice I had sent as a drink! Anne -- Re: what are my rights?
