There was some confusion today

Tweet

The student I work with the most, who needs the most care did not show up when he usually does. So in our state at least, different school districts have different attendance dates. Periodically they have parent/teacher conferences, and excuse the children from school so that the teachers can meet with parents individually. My student's mom works at a school in another town. His older brother usually brings him to school because both mom and dad leave early. Today Mom's school had their conferences. Mom misread and thought our students were also out. She took him to grandma's house. Later she realized her mistake and called us. Grandma does not drive and could not go ahead and bring him. So I did not have that young man to work with. The child I work with second most was gone to a dental appointment out of town today. So I did not have her either. Never fear. I found plenty to do otherwise. We will be out for conferences on Monday next week, and next Wednesday there will be early release so that teachers can go to trainings. I will ride the bus. Next Friday the kids in Hillsboro will have no school. It can be easy to get confused. We make it through one day at a time.
