Needing Prayer and Advice

[kayd1966]

Hi;

DS has had a really rough start to school. He entered Kindergarten this year after 2 years in an early intervention preschool.

I spent the summer prepping him with the teacher's name, his aide's name and his morning routine.

Two weeks before school, his teacher quit, a week before school his aide quit. Then on Monday, they changed his bus schedule so he leaves 40 minutes earlier.

Needless to say, this has been very frustrating for me, I can only imagine what's going through his head!

Today, I get a phone call from the principal, and was informed that his temporary aide quit today because she is 'frustrated' with him. They have a sub coming in and they MIGHT hire her for the full time position. Now I have to decide whether to send him and risk having the school hire someone else to start with him next Tuesday or keep him home till they hire someone.

Any advice and all prayers are appreciated!

God Bless...

Have you talked to the school about the necessity of regularity and preparation for your DS? I had a staffing situation at my DD daycare/preschool and I went and talked to the director and told her that my DD dosen't deal well with change so it would be in her best interest to have a regular permenant staff in her classroom. The director arranged it so that another familiar teacher from the class above her (they play in the same playground so the kids all know both sets of teachers) came to her classroom permenantly and they hired a sub and eventually a permenant staff for the other room. That elped my DD alot.

I will be praying for you and your DS

Thank you for the prayers.

I have been in conference with his new school since last January so that they would be prepared and have everything in place. We were trying desperately to make sure that there wouldn't be any surprises at the beginning of year. Unfortunately all our preparation was in vain because of circumstances beyond our control.

Thank you again for your prayers, I have felt them.

I just realized I never updated this...thank you for all the prayers.

The school ended up hiring my entire hometeam to work with James. He has settled right in but the school still is accepting that he is as good as he is. They can't seem to understand that we've worked really hard to make him aware of what is around him and communication and having friends, etc.

I've had to pull him out of the 1/2 days because the school is refusing to allow him in other classes. As a result he's been spending two afternoons a week with his aide doing worksheets. I was heartbroken when I found out but I feel much better now that I've pulled him from the extra time in school. He'll only be attending with his regular class now.

Thank you so much for the prayers.
God Bless...

I have a daughter with special needs, at times it is very hard to understand why one child is so different from the other. I love my baby so much and I want her to be able to accomplish what any other child can. Please pray for me big girl! She is really a special child.
