Thank you so much! I was able
to write an email with some knowledge using your resources, the "Missing School Advocacy Kit" and "Missing
School Closing the Gaps," Best Practices program! I wasn't harsh or accusatory
but I was confident and to the point. I received a call back later this
afternoon from the head of the special needs department. None of the missing
work will be held against my daughter's grade and they are offering her online
tutoring with a math teacher during the summer so she can actually complete the
work and isn't behind next year... Thank you again, I needed a quick action
plan because tomorrow is the close of the term and you really helped me out! -- Kathryn B, June, 2011
