[quote=MamaCCG]We have had an absolutely horrendous transition to 4th grade in catholic school. It feels more like boot camp for the marine corp.

Background: 4th grade DD been struggling all year in school. Severe school anxiety, stomach aches, panic attacks. Diagnoses of SLD, ADD and anxiety. Daugher is completely shut down in Math and gets in trouble with teacher for “not trying or participating”. We have followed every suggestion from  school resource dept to best support her since 3rd grade. She has a CAP plan and an IEP. We have had in therapy and private tutoring 2x a week all year.

- [ ] was receiving MCPS pull out 2 times a week for math support.  Daugher dreaded the days she had to go. We soon discovered she was being pulled from all 4 of her core classes and was being penalized for missing classwork. She had failing grades in all the classes she was missing in addition to math which she was getting the support. Had meeting with school - stopped MCPS support. School never communicated any of this to us. We were told she was responsible for all of the missing classwork/homework - this too never communicated to us.

- [ ] CAP plan not updated for this year, signed by us or given to teachers.

- [ ] *daugher not getting any extra support in Math at school. Accommodations such as visuals and manipulatives for in class in and for assessments not happening.

- [ ] daughter has been sick repeatedly this year Make up work is expected to be completed submitted upon returning to school although not having learned the material. Was given 3 math tests returning to school. Failed all of them obviously. Teacher is not flexible on this despite extra time in CAP and IEP.

- [ ]We have a meeting with the administration this week to discuss the gross mishandling of just about everything this school year and impact it has had on our daughter’s mental health and education. I know that Catholic schools do not have the same resources as public schools and that a CAP/SERVICE plan is not a legal document like an IEP - but to blatantly not follow accommodations?

what kind of recourse do we have? Has anyone been through something similar? Any suggestions or advice?

Thanks for reading. [/quote]
