The first day of school is always exciting. It felt great to send Morgan to school to start a whole new year. I was praying that he would have a great year. I hoped also after the surgery he would feel better about himself, and hopefully he wouldn't get picked on. Just last week I filed the papers for his IEP. I decided this year I would pursue help for him in school. The last two years have been harder than elementary and I was not looking forward to a year of fighting with teachers for help. I decided I would let him go through his days without interference from me. I had been emailing teachers and fighting to get work home that he needed to complete since he came to Middle school in 6th grade. Last year he fell behind alot in the last 9 weeks and had many incompletes which turned into F's because I was not notified he had missing work. I thought by doing it at the beginning of the year the IEP would protect him and force the teachers to notify me of missing work before it was too late to complete. The beginning of the year went well ...well at least for the first three weeks or so.
I did hear from one of his teachers telling me he was missing assignments and I wrote back explaining the application for him to be tested for an IEP. I ran into his language arts teacher in the office one day and she also mentioned his difficulty in getting work completed. Other than hearing from these teachers at the beginning of school none of the others bothered to notify me. I decided to let him do what he could hoping he would get help if they knew how much he struggled. I knew the IEP should be done in 60 days so no worries right???.....(to be continued later....unfortunately!!)
