Quote From: mustbecrazyThe kids are back in school, and we are packing our oldest son up to move away to his apartment for culinary school...he will be getting a roommate...we think he has found one...we will be meeting him when we move our son down there...300 miles away...my husband is a very good judge of character...this person is Christian, non-smoker, non-drinker...9 years older than our son...maybe that is a good thing...somebody responsible...I hope!!
I will be contacting our middle son's teachers via email to remind them to adhere to the 504 plan...specifically the part where our son has to call me if an assignment is not turned in, or if he is goofing off in class. He has recently gotten onto Provigil for Narcolepsy, and Lamictal for ADHD/possible bipolar...he is still tapering up on the Lamictal dose, but his temper already seems improved. Both Provigil and Lamictal are being tested for ADHD, and they don't have the bad side effects that Ritalin or Adderall do.
Our youngest son is settling down in his new class...very studious about getting everyting done.
Well...gotta keep our oldest son on task with his packing, and do the laundry...I'll probably be mostly off of the board for this week because of the packing...Becky
Happy packing! Sounds like Oldest will be all set very soon.
Hopefully, the teachers actually ADHERE to the 504 plan!! Speaking of meds, now that Middle Son is on a narcolepsy med, is he still on Requip for the Restless Legs Syndrome, or am I confusing that with someone else? A mild Woo-hoo for the already noticeable improvement with the Lamictal. Glad to hear that Youngest Son and intermediate school are getting along so far. Did he get the teacher you had hoped for?
Anne is adjusting to having classes scattereed all over campus. She's less forgetful now about her materials, but still has a tough time knuckling down to weekend HW. In all, though, oddly enough, I think she's got LESS HW now than she did in 5th grade, even with the advanced reading & language arts classes. We'll see how things go when she takes tests.
