Moose- just write to the head expressing your concern. Don't pussy-foot around, say excatly what has happened, They have set targets for an IEP and in a fortnight, nothing has been implemented. If they are any sort of head they will deal with it promptly and sort it sensitively and properly.
Nothing happens for a few days, phone head to check they got letter and then ask what is being done as you still feel DS is distressed and see no sign of improvement
Now, if nothing else happens..............complain to the governors that the head has ignored a parental request.
I hate to tell you to go over the teacher's head on this, as I simply hate it when parents make a mountain out of a molehill by not phoning/emailing me directly. But she seems like a waste of time and effort and you have explained the situation to her countless times.
As regards to the senco, I don't know how it works in primary schools, but ours is always abailable if parents phone the school (except if she is teaching) but I suppose an issue if yours is only in a few days. All staff at my school are directly contactable by email, which we find very efficient (forgetting to phone parents back or having to leave messages were the bane of my life when I was a tutor).
On a lighter note: We would love to have your secret agents here to solve the animal carnage. Our video has caught exactly zilch evidence!
Books-Cakes sound yum! I am a total 'GLEEK', jus watched this weeks episode yesterday, how fab! MissJ, I guarantee you will love it!
Tea- Not sure but then I'm a bit soft on these things. Since we moved here in october DD has often snuck into our bed in the night. Sometimes we don't even notice her! I am a bit against hardline tactics as she is on a different floor and I don't want her to feel 'rejected' IYSWIM. I think softly, softly approach like making her bed seem evry appealing, rewarding time spent in her own bed by making her feel big and clever would be the way to go. It may be quite gradual though! What about you suggesting that you are sleeping in her bed??? Would she then see the attraction of it (reverse psychology?). If all else fails........does it matter if everyone is sleeping and settled for the mean time? If she is keeping you awake then fair enough, but it may not be worth the hassle if she puts up strong resistance
Dog- hope you are all feeling better. House sounds lovely
So, we got our school offer letter on monday and no surprises since we just put the local infants that never is over-subscribed. Anyway, cue DD in fits of tears because she is not going to the tiny primary affiliated with her pre-school, since lots of her friends going there. Now, she has known for months, since we moved the other side of town actually, that she isn't going there and she has been to see her school and everything. Still a bit upsetting for us though, not much we can do since it is full now anyway and also it was highly impractical (far away, no after-school/before school club which we need), too small for her imo and when I went to visit, I didn't really like the school and thought the facilities were a bit shoddy.
Popped round a friends this morning and she had a play with her DS, who is going to this said school, so I think she feels a bit better as I have said she will still see/play with her old friends even though they are at different schools. I am not too worried, as she is very sociable and makes friends easily but I am just feeling a bit guilty at the moment (mainly work-related guilt as per usual!)
Yesterday I had to leave work and pick her up from pre-school and bring her into work for the afternoon as my childminder had poorly DC's. Anyway, she spent half an hour watching Brian Cox's 'wonders of the solar system' with year 9.......and loved it! She then asked if she could just come to my school in september! Seemed a bit disappointed when I told her she had to be 11!
