Got A Call from the school principal

I got a call from the school principal today, and apparently Billy BIT another kid at lunch today. I guess according to the principal, he mistook playing for fighting (other kids) and went to defend the girl, got into it with another boy, and ended up biting him. Billy is 12 AS. So the school is keeping him inside tomorrow at lunch, and I'm not sure I agree with that. This will be his 4th inside recess in 2 weeks. I'm starting to think it's time to call another IEP meeting to figure out where to go from here.

Well if he has stayed in 4 times in the past 2 weeks that tells me 2 things. 1) staying in at recess is not an effective deterant and 2)there is a behavioral pattern going on for some reason that needs to be addressed.

To address it you need to get the team together and start brainstorming why he is having these behaviors and what to do about them.

UGH. So sorry. I have been on the recieving end of yucky school phone calls and it is no fun.
