I am soooo mad I can't think straight.

[madde]

Madison just called me from home and today they had to leave the school to go to a nearby college to practice for their Christmas program. So, I sent her a bag with her tablets, juice, snack to take with her. Well, she forgot it and no one at the school, no teacher, no nurse, no lpn, no principle NOBODY made sure she had juice or tablets with her ( I am shaking while typinjg soo mad)

She is supposed to get a snack at 10:00 they left the school around 9:30, so she didn't get her snack and she started to feel shaky and her SDFDAFAING teacher told her "oh well, your gonna have to wait til you get back to the school. She said she felt horrible and very shaky and scared. (i'm crying I am sooooo ticked off right now I) And nobody did anything for her. They don't #$#$ing get it that she couldn't passed out or worse. So about 45 minutes later she got to the school and tested and was 68. That doesn't sound very low, but she couldn't been coming up from a rebound. because afternoon sugar was 260.

I need to calm down, need advice please.

It was probably a rebound for that spike in the afternoon. I would contact the principle, the teacher, and the nurse and set a meeting ASAP. Do you have a 504? If you do, then they can be in major trouble for violating.

What about her special teacher? Who the hell does she think she is. Also, contact the endos office to see if they can conference in over the phone or send an educator out to retrain the school.

Finally, go find a quite room, turn out all of the lights, and yell, curse, and scream, while kicking, as loud as you can. I am just completely shocked that they violated your childs and your trust so badly. And they were on a freakin college campus - there had to be something nearby.

OMG.. I am livid for you!!!!

I would be having a not so nice chat with her teacher, the nurse, the principal, and anyone else who is around.

That is so not acceptable. I think the 68 was a rebound, and she was probably much lower. They are lucky that nothing happened, and I would very bluntly explain that to them.

I would maybe calm down a little, but not completely, just so they get the idea of how serious this is.

If you have a 504, this is likely a violation of that agreement. Your child should not be allowed to leave the primary school building without a nurse or other qualified adult who is specifically trained in her care.

it is not the child's responsibility to carry her supplies around.

You should have recieved advance notification that she would be away from her building, and you should have been advised of the plan in place to see to her medical needs.

When you have stopped shaking and screaming (which, if this were me, would take quite a while and likely two glasses of wine), you need to put your complaint in writing in send it into school tomorrow, addressed to your principle, your 504 coordinator, and your child's teacher, and the nurse, too.

This is completely unacceptable and you need to take care of this so that it never happens again. They need to be put on notice that your child's health needs are a priority and they are in serious trouble for neglecting it.

This is just wrong on so many levels :( Where's my bat? I wanna kick that teachers butt from here to Alaska :eek: Definatly calm down a bit and then go in a rip em a new one :mad:

[Boo]

Oh, I am SO sorry that your daughter went through this. She must have been terrified! That is UNBELIVABLE that they did NOTHING for her. I'd be livid!

That said, try to keep your calm when you talk to them next about this incident...what they did wrong, what they will do differently next time to prevent this from happening again, and how lucky they were that nothing terrible happened. I might even ask my endo to contact the school to reinforce this as the school seems to not be taking it very seriously. :mad:

You have every right to demand a meeting about this and insist that the guidelines for her care be revisited by all. Be nice...but not too nice, and very firm!! And, by all means, let your daughter know that she did nothing wrong. Though it ISN'T her job to remember/carry her supplies at her age, I suppose this incident will make her think to remind someone next time.

Ask for a meeting. Before the holidays. They will likely try to put you off but hold your ground. Call the next tier of school management (district?) - that usually gets them hopping. And you can be calm (which will probably get their attention) or you can be wild (which will probably ensure that you get what you want in the future if only in the interest of making their lives easier). They were clearly in the wrong. Perhaps they would like to hear what happened to my son when he had a hypoglycemic seizure? (Which, by the way, they may have narrowly avoided with Madde.)

This kind of thing makes me crazy. Dopey people in charge of little ones = DANGER!
