[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this your first year at the school? Unless there's been something really big, I would say it's unusual to be counseled out during the first year without prior communication.

My child was counseled out, but we had had many, many parent teacher conferences about the challenges.[/quote]

DP.  We were counseled out in the first month of school.  Had zero prior conversations.  No calls, notes, emails.  Kid has ADHD and was on meds; we fully disclosed all on our app and in person.   As it turned out, there were some, many, behavioral moments (not involving any students/teachers) that were not shared with us at all.  That is, until we were called in to a meeting one day with the LS head, teacher and a resource type person.  I was under the impression we were going to talk about the first month, what they saw, if/how they could support, maybe a booster dose, and the like.

Was totally blindsided when we got the not-a-good-fit conversation and a rattled off list of complaints.  Looking back, I guess I was surprised that everything appeared to be going so well (since no one called or emailed us) and DS loved the school!  How wrong that was, lol.  Perhaps since we were full pay they figured they would give it a few weeks time, just in case it worked out?  Who knows, but what a strange experience having the rug pulled out from under us like that.     Best of luck OP.[/quote]
