The School Has Called. What Now? 10 Steps for Parents
Presentation Abstract
Presentation Description Parents always cringe when they get ‘that call’ from the school. This time the call references a ‘serious’ behavioral incident that involved your child at school. As you speak with them, there are things parents should know and steps that may be necessary to take before the school event does or is allowed to escalate. When situations escalate without appropriate intervention, students sometimes end up with out of school suspensions, changes in placement, or other serious actions proposed or taken by the school. This presentation takes you through the steps that parents need to know to insure their child has the right supports to be behaviorally and academically successful as well as avoiding a potentially damaging situation for your child now or in the future. School personnel can also benefit from a basic understanding of key information and steps to take in these situations.
