I've been there - just trying to get a sense if my experience is relevant.
PreK girl in a private school, issues with hyperactive active behavior that has just recently become disruptive, also some social emotional concerns
op - I have been there with the exact same situation but a boy. Mine is now 10 and still at the same school and i have actually become a default parent for helping other parents through this and help them understand what is actually going on.
1. the school is setting the stage for either asking you for a neuropsych or counseling your dd out. if you have got this far in the year then the likely are not counseling out. Have YOU suggested a neurospych? if you do, they will likely be relieved. If you don't, they will suggest before summer.
2. what they expect to come out of the neurospych is probably a combination of adhd and/ or asd, with adhd being the predominant concern they have. Make no mistake, they want you to be open to giving your child medication within the next couple years and if you aren't, they dont want you to stay. everything else is gravy.
3. you have a great kid. once you start to be super proactive about neurospych and medication, likely they will work with you to make it all better and the calls will stop. and they should remind you all the time that your kid is great and then their job will be to take your great kid that needs some extra help and, themselves, go the extra mile. that's the tradeoff.
