[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a specialist teacher, I am usually appreciative of anything... except cheap lotions that end up actually drying my hands out. Gift cards and notes from student are awesome.

As a parent, I have trouble drawing a line at where to stop giving gifts for all the adults that help my children. I can’t afford to even get $10 giftcards for all of them. [/quote]

The money part is a big issue as we have a SN child who has multiple staff helping directly and indirectly.  I'm doing gift cards for the 4 main and a small token gift for the rest.  It still adds up.[/quote]

PP here. Yes, we have a SN preschooler and with the teachers, aids, therapists, bus drivers & aids... and then our ES age child’s teacher and bus driver (and he likes giving the specialists gifts, too), it just gets to be a lot.[/quote]

Same situation...SN preschooler who also goes to daycare.  We spent a total of $500 this year on everyone, including 6 SNs teachers/therapists, 4 drivers/aides, 2 primary daycare teachers, 2 aides, 3 front office staff, and a check for the entire daycare gift pot.[/quote]

[b]Private SN care would cost much more![/quote][/b]

You're forgetting the cost of SN school.  PP clearly has child already in SN school.  This $500 is on top of the 44K in tuition.[/quote]
