DS has been out of his SN school for 3 year with issues. Anyway 4 Christmasses ago they used his cards and presents as an incentive/motivator to come to school..........it took till March to get him there.

3 xmases ago, they posted out his cards and he got no present.

2 xmases ago, he got nothing, even though he still handed out cards.

last year again he got nothing and I can't remember what we done.

However we 2 days left at school and DS still registered at the SN school but tutored at home by the LA, the school have sent him what looks like a hand made professionally printed card from the whole school, not the class.

WWYD, in return, if anything??

TIA x

should of added there is a load of hostility between school and us around how unhelpful they are.

I think I would be focussing on what happens next for him, and not how they mark Christmas. How is he still on role, three years down the line? What is said at annual review?

If you were being mega polite, I suppose you could send a card back addressed to the whole school Wink, I think actually it's going to be less mental energy just sending a card and going through the social motions than getting all humphy about it and ignoring them.

I'm sorry not it's a long historic story a lot of which is on here, I have a xmas NC. We are doing our best focussing on what next for him.

Thanks Light

Send a nice Christmas Card to Class X, wishing them all a happy new year. Send another one to the school, with a note saying 'thank you for remembering DS at this time of year' or some such.

It will be far more effective than either ignoring it or doing something passive aggressive, however justified you would be to do either.

Merry Christmas MasterDMD, and a happy New Year Xmas Smile

Would your son consider Hand delivering a Xmas card? Just popping in with it?
Maybe there has been a change in staff, therefore a change in their approach?
It seems like abit of an olive branch to me.

Ah okay, but still - 3 years out of school?

Hi Lougle masterDMD says he hopes you too have a not too merry christmas and a happy new year Xmas Grin

Today we have part made a hand made card for him to hand in tomorrow when he goes for his individual swimming session. We have decided to just send one to the whole school.

Yes 3 years out of school, no suitable school and no support for his needs as yet.

Tell MasterDMD that I am teetotal, but I'll gratefully accept his caution Grin

Well done for making a card, it must have been hard, but it was (IMO) the best thing.
