No Response. Yet. And a Melt.

I didn't hear anything from the school regarding my note. Not yet, anyway.

DS had a meltdown today. :( They called me on his cell phone, and asked if I would try talking to him.

At first he was growling, unable to communicate. But then, slowly, I started getting mono-syllabic responses, which led to partial sentences. When I could get him to talk, I got him to go back into his classroom.

During the entire conversation, he was left alone in the hallway. Probably the best thing they could have done. They just let us be. However, I did find out during that call that his aide was not there AGAIN during this melt. He had no idea where she was. Apparently, she was at school, just not with him. She is often mysteriously absent during his melts. Either that, or she just didn't see what happened. :(

The swine flu has closed some schools in the surrounding area. But since there haven't been any diagnosed cases in our district, our schools remain open. I sure wish they'd close, just as a precautionary measure. (Not because I fear the pandemic the media has hyped up, but because I can't stand dealing with this school.) I'm counting the days until summer vacation. I'm needing it even more than DS, I think. I just can't stand their stress.
