Still no explaination

Well I still have no clear cut answer to what is going on. I know I was told Airen would have two different aides helping him. I received a phone call from the resource specialist. She was calling for the director who was out sick today. Explains why I didn't get any answers today.

The resource specialist informed me that there were questions asked about how Airen was doing in the classroom and if the aide was still needed. HE'S NOT POTTY TRAINED so there is your answer about needing an aide. I told the resource specialist that given he's not potty trained and has issues with transitions we have the aide for those reasons and won't be changing that. She agreed. Airen's case worker at school was also consulted and she indicated that in the mornings since he's only in the one class with his peers and his teacher he seems to do pretty good. From lunch time on is where the issues arise. It is noted he has problems transitioning from the different specials (music, library, PE, computer lab or therapies). This is where he really needs the help. Also we aren't potty trained.

This afternoon when Airen got home he told me that he had THREE people working with him. THREE different people throughout the day helping him. WHAT ARE THEY THINKING??? Can I scream yet. I finally received a response from the director stating that Mr "idiot" Principal wanted to rotate the aides around to three different children. WHAT ARE YOU THINKING???? I got the schedule and Doug and I are not happy. I let the resource specialist know that I do not like the idea of a rotation of aides to different students. I also let her know how upset we were in regards to how they decided to communicate these changes to us. She agreed it wasn't in the child's best interest on any of this. She also suggested we as parents call an IEP meeting. Doug and I had already thought about that. This week is teacher conferences this week and fall break is next week. Once we get back from break we do want a sit down meeting.

So there it is. More confusion for me and for our child. THREE people working with him throughout the day is stupid and not happening. Tomorrow I will most likely get the chance to speak to Mr Principal and hopefully he sees where we as parents are coming from.
