The school year is just starting up in this neck of the words and I must say I am not getting a fantastic first impression with my daughter's kindergarten.
I should have an open mind; but I had to fight a bit for her IEP before school even began. My 6 yr old had been diagnosed with Autism, separation anxiety as well as ADHD during pre-school. I was a little surprised with the ASD but in the end it all made sense. These are all new waters for me and at times I feel like I am barely treading. I am learning that schools, administrations, etc will fight the parent tooth and nail on a child's IEP needs...it is insane ! I am getting off track here ( big surprise, lol ) !
Anyway, school starts, Thursday and I had not heard a peep from my daughter's school...is she morning session or afternoon ? I tried calling but guess what, they are getting a new phone system installed so you cannot get a person on the line. I tried going online to see if I can get that info online, nope nada. I finally went into the school today to ask.
I personally feel like I should not have to do that. A letter should have been sent out. I am part of a Facebook group that another parent had put together to get info on school, groups, and all that jazz in my area. Thank goodness for that group otherwise I wouldn't have known have orientation day, new drop off and pick ups. Some parents are getting emails while others ( such as myself ) are not. This is why letters need to go out. Maybe I am turning into a grumpy old lady. Or maybe I am just getting nervous for my babies to be starting school and this is my way of getting it out.
Either way I hope the school year goes smoothly and the kinks get worked out. Communication is always key in life !!
