Good Afternoon,
This morning was a rough one! I attempted to bring Jayden to school today, however once we reached the doors he was in tears and wouldn't go inside the building. He ended up running all the way back to the car at which point I caught up with him and he got sick...all over me. I'm assuming that this was brought on by nerves and I now feel like a horrible parent! Beginning last week Jayden had expressed several concerns to me regarding Mrs. Thill. This continued throughout the week and over the weekend. I didn't think too much of it because it was my understanding that he had just started spending time with this teacher and perhaps he needed some time to adjust to her rules and expectations. I had planned on messaging you today regarding this issue (even before the incident this morning) so we could figure out what is going on and resolve any problems.

Thill's classroom for math every afternoon, which would explain why he was asking if he had any appointments or if I could pick him up early every day last week. Beginning Tuesday morning I had a very hard time getting him going in the morning, which is not the norm for him. He is not a morning person, but he does not argue with me about going to school-he loves you and loves being in your class! Last week and this morning it took all I had to get him to school and to get him in an upbeat mood so he could start his day in a positive way. As we talked about what was bothering him throughout the week he slowly began to share with me that he is afraid of Mrs. Thill and afraid of going to her class. He says she's mean, always yells at him, hurt his arm, etc. and he "knows she doesn't like
I am reaching out to you because I have some major concerns with my son Braydon Thorman's education. Braydon is in Mrs. Kuithe's 3rd grade class. Braydon seems to be struggling A LOT. Braydon is a very bright kid and that is one reason I am so concerned. Braydon has ADHD and has been diagnosed sence kindergarden. He struggled mostly with being still in KG and first grade. second grade was great, we did have handwriting issues. This year however is such a set back. This is Braydons first year of getting grades and such a transition, a very very hard and stressful transition. When I first saw signs of this I requested a meeting with Mrs. Kuithe and Mrs. Montgomery. I felt good about that meeting. I felt like we really hashed out some of my concerns. He almost made honor roll, then

Jaycee wrote a book a while back, and now her new book is out which reveals a lot of what she went through all those years. Radar Online shared some of the terrible things that Jaycee Dugard is now revealing that she dealt with during that rough time for her.
Rodriguez to tell me what is going on with her son. She informed me that he is being bullied by other students in his class and nothing is being done about it. I then turn to Andrew and ask him to explain to me what’s going on. He told me that when they’re in the gym and it’s time to pick a team member that he’s never gotten picked by the other students. He further advised that today while in the restroom today that he accidentally wet his pants while using the urinal and three of his classmates laughed at him. I then asked if he told his teacher(s) about the incident and he said, no. I asked him if he has told any adult inside the building about his situation and he said, no. I asked Andrew if he has ever seen me in the hallways or the cafeteria during lunch time and he said, no. Ms. Rodriguez advised at the beginning of the school year an incident happened and she spoke with the Principal, Mrs. Hinton. I
Jonathan is the main character in the book. He grows from a young seagull who tries to master flight to a wise sage who can bring other seagulls back to life. He learns about perfection, heaven, and learning itself. He learns to disappear and reappear in thin air. He learns from an Elder and he tries to teach the Flock. As a young gull, he is banished from the Flock for his desire to fly higher and faster than any other seagull. Jonathan serves as an inspiration to anyone who wants to succeed beyond the limitations
Today during 3rd period Lauren asked if she could come to my office, and her teacher allowed her to do so. Lauren explained to me what has taken place with her family and that she was concerned about her mom, because she saw her work hard to take care of her and her younger brothers and sister.
I showed her the Jigsaw puzzle. I printed for the children and some of the ideas I had for using house hold items for activities. Things such as cup stacking, the children could work as a team to make a pyramid. The would use 10 cups, a rubber band and string. I told her she has to take the time to find things her children can do or learn to do. I am here to make suggestion not to do all of the leg work. For 2-year-old Lucas I get her a bonding printout for parents and toddler. It listed nine ways to bond with toddlers. All of them involved her being proactive and spending with him. She things that means cut everyone else off, but explained that if she finds something for the other children to do. She can be with “just Lucas”, without isolating her from the other children. If she calls for reading or craft time. She will foster a bond with all of her children at the same. Pete dropped Drew and Benjamin off. Miss Orbach told them to hang up their wet clothes and to take a shower. Miss Orbach asked if I could leave early, because she was tries and it was hot. I told her I had to call the office and get it approved. She was upset when she was told,
Well, where to begin to tell you my story. Oh! Let’s start with the old recordings that show how it all began.

Please allow me to apologize for telling your son to “stop whining” on Tuesday. My behavior was extremely inappropriate, and unprofessional. It was never my intention to belittle your son. I understand you wanting another teacher my words were hurtful and I am sorry for my actions, I spoke to the boys and they apologized. I can promise you that something like this won’t happen again. Please feel free to call me at 555 123-3467
Mom told me that she has no idea how to deal with this situation no more and she's frustrated at the fact that Matthew would even say that. She stated that she wanted to take him to the hospital and have him evaluated by a psychiatrist but that she did not want them to give Matthew any medication. I told mom that I was not licensed to speak to her about psychiatric and psychological concerns but that I will loop in leadership and/or the school psychologist because they might be able to help. She told me to talk to everyone in the school that can address the situation and help amend the situation and that she will also tell Mr. Mikulka about the things that Matthew says are happening in class.
I am checking in to see how Jesalyn is doing in class? She informed me yesterday when I got home from work, she had a scheduled meeting with you, but had to meet her sister to walk her home. I would like to know what she can do to make this time up with you? If there is anything I can do please let me know. Jesalyn is starting to make small improvements at home and with her attitude. I hope with her father and I holding her more accountable for her actions this will also help improve her work ethic during school.
I will speak to both boys tomorrow. I want to make sure that Danny lets me know if there are any incidents that occur throughout the day. It is difficult for our kindergarteners to recall information that occurred the previous day. It looses value, and it is essential for them to understand that their actions have consequences. This will allow me to have a conversation right after the incident, which is way more meaningful. I will make sure that Antonio understands that such actions are not permitted in school, and that is not okay for him to bother Daniel or any other student. We are still reviewing routines and procedures, and we will continue to do so, to ensure all students know our rules well.
Fen and Asher's grandfather and guardian resided on an atoll off the mainland, the last remnant of a sunken island that in former days had been inhabited by able-bodied sailors and bosomy bawds. Centuries ago, a lighthouse was erected far below the lagoon's watery depths, rising hundreds of feet to breach the low-slung clouds. Twice a week, on Thursday afternoons and Sunday mornings, Dr. Harrold (a widowed woman of hazy vision and memory) would sail out to check up on the hermetic old man and his two grandchildren who resided in the tumbledown lighthouse. When she was still a slat-thin and wild-eyed child marooned on the edge of puberty, Fen earned her weekly passage across the waters by gathering--per the good doctor's instructions--medicinal plants that grew abundantly around the lagoon.
Today, Julian came home very upset saying he did not want to go back to school. I asked him what happened and he said he was clipped down to “think about it” for talking back. I’m sure you get enough e-mails and letters from parents with regards to their child’s discipline, but when Julian has been clipped down in the past he has owned up to it. He feels as if today’s incident was a misunderstanding. I was told that he was talking to himself after you told him to do something, and you thought he was addressing you afterword. We see this in the house, where he does think out-loud before he makes some decisions, which we encourage so he can weigh his options.
My impression of Mrs. Walker is that she is a loving, concerned parent. I know this because she sacrificed her time to come to the school to advocate for her son’s learning. I would be very empathic to Mrs. Walker. We share many of same concerns and goals for Drew. We both want to fight for Drew’s learning and success. First, I would listen to her concerns. I want to show Mrs. Walker that I truly care for her and her son. Mrs. Walker’s thoughts and feelings about the situation are important for me to know and for her to express. After listening to Mrs. Walker, I will respond with empathy. I want to fight for Drew’s learning and acknowledge that Drew is balancing a lot outside of school. Next, I will inform Mrs. Walker that Drew needs to complete his homework because it is vital to his learning. But because of Drew’s responsibilities outside of school, I would suggest that we develop a creative and strategic plan to get Drew back on track with homework and learning. It would be best to have Drew’s input on the plan. So I would suggest another meeting to build a plan. In-person would be better, but if there are time constraints the meeting could be over the phone. In sum, I will do everything in my power to make sure Mrs. Walker knows that I am on her side and on Drew’s side. In addition, I will do
