Received these emails from SS's teacher in the last two days----They received colors based on how good of a day they have. Green, yellow, orange and red are good and blue, purple and pink are bad.

1. I was getting ready to send you an email. We had a lot of silly behaviors in line and making noises when repeatedly asked to stop. During our Science Fair tour SS continued those behaviors. His day improved after that and I considered changing him back to green but then I look over at him and see that he is sitting in his chair with the back of his shorts pulled down to mid-thigh (the front was a bit higher). Fortunately, I was the only one who saw it and his shirt was covering past his underwear. I explained that this was why he was not getting his color changed back to green and his response was "At least I had my shirt on." In his upset about his blue, he asked me "What do you expect me to do, take them all the way off?" I told him that I expected him to keep them on properly

2. Sorry I forgot to add - If SO talks to SS again, can he remind him to look for his Reading book? (The teacher and us have been trying to get this book back from the black hole of BM's house for 3 weeks)

3. A letter was sent home by mail from the office and nothing has been returned. Can please ask SO to call and speak with the principal in regard to this letter. Also, is there a good time for SO to meet with us to discuss SS and the behavior plan we are working on with him?

4. SS had a purple for today. He refused to copy the work Mrs. XYZ asked him to copy during RtI, then refused to start his math work until I told him he would do it at recess. He did end up having to copy the work from RtI during recess. This afternoon, Mrs. XZY asked him what he did to her sink while he was with her for Science because he had been at the sink for a long time and now it wasn’t draining. SS yelled at her that he didn’t do anything to it. It wasn’t him but I changed his color to purple for being disrespectful.

5. (I asked if she received my email about a time for a PTC) Yes I did. I just needed to check with the principal since we will be discussing SS's behavior plan and he will be in the meeting. He said 2:30 would be better. He would also like SS to be there.

All this in two days.....SS has not had ONE entire week in school since he started Kindergarten where he behaved. Every single week it's something.

Here's the funny part, two weeks ago he received an award for Character at the awards ceremony. SO said SS must not be doing that bad if he got the award. Each teacher gives out 5-6 awards each quarter. They only have 16-18 kids in the class. I guess SS is bound to get an award whether he deserves it or not.

She also called and left SO a VM last week because SS was having a meltdown at dismissal time and threaten to stab the bus driver. I'm surprised he wasn't at least kicked of the bus for that incident.

SO and I know exactly what's going to happen at the PTC. They tell us about SS's behavior and we say, We don't have him during the week, but we are doing what we can on the weekend. (We have them every Fri - Sun)...The school knows this, we have had this same PTC every year. BM refuses to attend, always some excuse and when she does say she will show up, she doesn't.

SO and I have no idea what to do with this kid. It's so frustrating to not be able to correct the situation. All the adults in the situation are at their wits end, except of course BM. She is too worried about boy toy and her next drink.
