just need a vent i suppose...
emptying DDs bookbag earlier and found a hand-written envelope with DDs name on it.
I opened it (since she's Y1 and not really entitled to letters in her own name as yet )
Apparently her attendance has slipped to less than the national target and we are in danger of having Education Welfare and a possible court case brought against us - she is now classed as a 'persistent absentee'
Because they have had to include her managed start at her new school as fucking absences
She has ASD and started her new school 3 weeks into term, it was the fucking school's idea to start half days, and because i wanted her to feel comfortable and steadily build up the time she spent at school, we're now under immense scrutiny for it.
She's got a SALT clinic appt next week which will apparently tip her over the freaking limit so they'll have to call in the big guns, who will then be told that it was schools idea to start part time, but legally, it has to stand that DD has poor attendance
What a crock of shit.
