Thank you so much for the advice! I thought I was doing my best for her at every step. I thought by going in, I was being proactive and getting her the best treatment and help from the school, especially since the one counselor was seemingly ignoring my emails and the fact that he "hadn't received it". That seems to be the theme of the district. Moving forward, if I have to take things in, I will also send an email about that. I hadn't thought of doing both.
I have learned so much over the last 2 weeks, and my brain is on overload. I found the "can you show me where it says that?" and plan to take that knowledge with me to meetings. I don't want to go in mistrusting the school because, in the end, we have to work together. I really appreciate this. insight.
