CONFUSION...

Over the past week I have been put through quite the ringer. What started out as a simple thing turned into a HUGE event that has thoroughly stressed me out! Who would have thought trying to get Camryn registered for speech would turn out SO awful! This process started back in April. After speaking to their pediatrician & another mommy friend I decided to get them evaluated for speech. Not that they did not speak, it's actually quite the contrary. They are little jabber jaw's! LOL! It was not until my niece told me how she LOVED how Cam stutters when she is exited did I even think there was a problem. I paid closer attention & noticed how they accentuated the wrong consonents & I had the hardest time figuring out what they were saying. I took all four in for evaluations & believe it or not Camryn was the only one walking out needing it. That day when we left that evaluation we were told her "speech school" would be Meadow Park Elementary. Being that they are all attending preschool now the speech school is determined by the address of her preschool. I googled Meadow Park & found that it received a good rating PLUS it is not that far from their preschool. Well that was what threw the wrench into the plans. That school is overcrowded which meant she would now be displaced to yet another school even further away! You see the closest school she was assigned lost their communications unit so now she was being displaced. YES, you heard me right they were now going to bus her FURTHER away! Now I had just gotten used to the idea of having my 3 1/2 year old riding a bus a mile down the road & now she was going to go where?! 8 miles away?! I was NOT a happy camper! I think I cried a lot that day! SO many emotions flooded my brain & whoever answered my calls that day received my wrath! I really need to apologize to those people! I am SO SO sorry! I finally spoke to nice woman who reassured me about a few things; the 11 day count & the bus situation. With the 11 day count they have to count the amount of students in the ESE programs over the first 11 days & if the #'s are too high they will need to add a unit. So there is a slight chance that the unit at her original school may get reopened & she can be sent back. {I HOPE & PRAY THIS HAPPENS!} Then in regards to the bus there would be an aide riding with her & she would never be left alone. I took a BIG risk & decided we would try it out. I have been preparing Cam over the past few days by telling her that she will get to ride a bus, having another teacher, meeting new friends. She seems excited. Fast forward to their "Open House" today. First off it was scheduled in the MIDDLE of the day, no real info about what was needed or what I was to do. I show up to their front office & no one seemed to know anything. I tell them my name & Cam's name & they still did not know what class Cam would be in. They tell me to walk down this LONG corridor & tell me to pass by these BIG windows & then you will see two classrooms. They were NOT there! I had another woman point in a direction towards the back of the school, again nothing was marked. This was a BIG school, people everywhere & nothing was marked! Needless to say I got lost. Luckily another teacher helped me find my way. {Note to those school officials, parents need correct information & maps would be appreciated!} You would think that it being in a public school they would have their "stuff" together but NO! It has been such a CRAZY process. To make things even crazier after I attended the Open House at the Royal Palm School & thought I had her all registered I just receive a call from Meadow Park, the first school, saying that she is now allowed back there! I have had enough of all this...
