Re: I HATE WILLIAM FLOYD SCHOOL DISTRICT

I am so sorry. It seems like she is being bullied. I would fight to get her pulled and transferred. or at least see if you can homeschool her until you get her transferred. I would also threaten to report it to the news channels!

She sounds like she is being targeted by the other girls. Chat Icon

Can they give her another locker with a lock that actually works?

I'd be LIVID if I were you. Make yourself heard and go to that school EVERYDAY if need be. Go over the principal's head if you have to and pay a visit to your district's superintendant.

Good luck! Chat Icon

Even if you provided the new lock? Is the issue that they would want to be able to have access if they needed to do a locker search? If so, would they allow it if they had a copy of the key?

Janet - she's a special education student, correct? Does she have an IEP? You could get it put in her IEP that she needs a different lock - I've seen it done.

Chat Icon I was awful at openning locks too. I'd was the worst at it when I was in a hurry or before a class with a teacher that made me nervous. I can imagine it is even harder for her if she has special needs. I hope you can work something out! Keep trying! Chat Icon

Maybe in the meantime--get a lock & practice with her at home. Maybe after she gets it a few times, time her, so she can get used to doing it under pressure? The #s will be differnt, but maybe it won't make her so nervous.

I'm not a teacher, & I don't know her learning situation, but it's just a thought.

Re: I HATE WILLIAM FLOYD SCHOOL DISTRICT

Janet, as a special ed. teacher, you CAN FIGHT for these things at the CSE meeting. the accommodations you are asking for are so minimal, i don't see how they couldn't accommodate them. i would also make sure you have a parent advocate (the district shoudl provide one---they are fellow parents with a child in special ed. and they help you during the CSE and ask questions you may not have thought of).

i don't know anything about your daughter, but from what I can see,
she needs a different lock for her locker AND she needs more time in between classes. no child should have to carry 20 kbs. of books around with them all day. it's not fair. also, not suer if you would find this too restrictive, but perhaps a classroom aide to help her navigate the hallways and/or her locker.

GOOD LUCK! please feel free to FM if you anything.

It's horrible that she is going through this, but the principal can't really threaten the girls in the class. I'd have some of the teachers on here help you draft a memo of requests for the phone conversation, and then stick to your main points (hall time, special lock, etc). Asking for things they cannot legally do (threaten the students that they will suffer if the pocketbook is not returned) kind of weakens your argument.

Are you sure that she wouldn't lose the key if she had a lock with a key during gym class with nothing to carry it?

Re: I HATE WILLIAM FLOYD SCHOOL DISTRICT

its a total PITA but you've got to be a squeeky wheel when it comes to adding modifications to her IEP.
Do you belong to SEPTA? Do you know who the advocate is? You've got to get together with other parents of Special Ed kids & talk to them about how they got results or who they dealt with in the school.
When my DS was that age I was so in their faces, the teachers knew it was easier to do what I said than deal with me flipping. There are state advocates in Albany, the board of education/special ed.
Start searching online for phone numbers, call Albany & tell them what nonsense you are going through.
Everything contact you have with the school has to be written, sent certified & CC'd to the superintendent & NYS board of education.
I know it takes a ton of time & effort but doing things this way lets the district know you'll blow whistles.
I've heard of rare occaisionswhen special ed kids can be enrolled in a different district for better services, have you looked into this with Longwood?

Re: I HATE WILLIAM FLOYD SCHOOL DISTRICT

My DD has many issues from time to time. I have made good friends with the school social worker, school psychologist, and her guidence couselor. All have helped her with her locker and have handled any issues that she has had...As a Special Education Student they recognize that she needs help in some areas. Ive been fortunate that she has befriended a couple of students that are nice to her and help her from time to time...

I lawyered up when we first moved to this district and my DH is a special ed teacher in a middle school so I know what they can do for her...

I would have something added to her IEP and I would seek out an allie within the school..such as the school social worker.

ITA.

Another addition might be that she has an extra set of books -- one for home, and one to keep in each of her classes so that she doesn't have to lug them around!
