yet another post about school-home communication

[Guest guest]

After the punching issue and the lack of communication book space devoted to it,

I decided to leave my page blank last week as a test. The aide never wrote a

WORD.

This morning, we were late, and I came into the classroom to tell teacher and

aide that has been sleeping badly, so watch out... and the aide told me he

has been ravenously hungry at school for the last week, eating his entire lunch

and requesting snacks from the snack cupboard, so if I could pack bigger

lunches...

AGH!!!!!

THIS was not worth noting the in f*ing

COMMUNICATIONBOOK????????????????????????????????

Maybe it's time for simple sarcasm, on the next blank page you should

write:

(in large letters)

" Insert comments HERE regarding and his day "

Thank You

(in smaller letters)

ps...comments like the one you told me verbally regarding 's

hunger all week would be quite appropriate on a daily basis

Jacquie --

In our last IEP meeting I actually demanded they put in writing as part of

our " agreement " that a communication notebook was to be used on a regular

basis. This really wasn't an issue with ' regular preschool teacher . .

.. but I never received input from his speech therapist. So now the SLP is

required to jot a note about his progress and what he's working on currently

so I can reinforce at home.

I had previously asked the SLP to do this and all I got was an occasional

" had a great day in speech today! " Now I get details, details!!!

has had the same preschool teacher for two years now. In the

beginning, she used to try to write on a daily basis what the kids did that

day. It became too much for her to try and accomplish at the end of the day

before the kids got on the bus . . . so she changed her procedure. Now, at

the beginning of every week, we get a schedule from her detailing what the

theme of the week is, what books they are reading, what songs they are

singing, etc. This frees her up to just make a 1-2 sentence comment in

everyone's notebook each day. It's a great system.

Did you let her have it? Tell me you did! Please! I am guessing you

probably didnt because you would have said so but I am still hoping.

She is an idiot. How would you know these things if she didnt write

it down to tell you? AGHHHHHHHHHHHHH! You know I wanted a

communication book for Greggory but his teacher was unsure what she

should write so she asked for help. Well after a few weeks she just

started talking to me about his day everyday! I am soooooooo lucky.

Makes me made that someone cant even write something down for you and

still complain.

Jacquie,

Have you confronted the aide about this? I say " confronted " instead of " told "

because if you seem angry with her about it (not boiling angry, just slow simmer

angry), she is much more likely to remember that this is IMPORTANT and not blow

off reading and writing in the book.

I'm having one right now, WITH YOU!

Could someone PLEASE go kick this aide in the A & & ??? and the teacher TOO

while you're at it????

Here's my suggestion (maybe you've already done this)

Make a pre-printed form with a place for date/comment/parent sig/aide sig/

Preprint the dates.

On days that there are no notes, you make a note that there were no notes

and makes notes about YOUR day...and make notes for the next day and sign

it.

If nothing else, this may give you ammunition for the future.

Idiots.

Jacquie, I don't know what they think is worth writing. I am having the same

trouble here. All I get every day is had a good day have a good night. I

have what he does at school or how he acts. Nothing. I have asked three times

for an IEP meeting and they don't send any dates. I did get a date for his IPRC

thou.

I think it must be the new way they do things at school here Jacquie. I makes me

just has mad.

Write a letter and send it certified. If it's by phone it didn't happen.
