I have emailed DD's school for September because we have been told that they are continuing their "very successful 1 to 1 ipad scheme". What this means is that every child has to either bring their own ipad or borrow one from the school at £60 per year. The letter concluded with saying if we had any questions or wished to discuss it to get in touch.
I emailed the student services manager 9 days ago. She said she would pass it on to the member of staff who is co-ordinating the scheme and he would be in touch. I hadn't heard anything more yesterday so emailed again saying I understand it's a busy time of year because of exams but that the answers to our questions would be useful in deciding which option to go with. They want forms back in two weeks. She apologised and said she would get him to reply yesterday. I have still had nothing from him. I don't want to make a pain of myself but we can't return the form telling them what they want to know until we have the answers to the questions.
To make it slightly more irritating to them for me to keep getting in touch, we are having to deal with them directly re the transition because DD is home educated so they have already heard from us about other things. The same man is supposed to be getting in touch with us re. arranging to visit DD and discuss the transition as they would for the local year 6 classes. I've heard nothing about that either. I know he is visiting one of the primary schools today because DD's friend goes there.
I don't want to make a name for myself as an annoying parent but I would like to be told about the things they have said they will be in touch about!
How long would you leave it before giving them another nudge?
