Just a follow up, mainly for my own records

So I spoke with the principal for about 30 seconds on my way to a meeting with another teacher this morning and it sounds like M’s teacher spoke with the kids and the P. got a letter and will be looking at it today. She said she would call me once she sees what is going on. I must have misunderstood Mrs. C yesterday afternoon in her usual whirlwind conversationing :/

Spoke to his aide this AM on the way out to the car and she said Mrs. C thought M wanted to tell her about gym and M said no, I want to tell you what happened so she stopped to listen and immediately went to take care of it, leaving the aide with the class. So go Mrs. C! Mrs H, his aide, said the class is usually nice and likes M a lot and he really fits in well – in other words, this is unusual, and it sounded like gym is with another class and the kids were from that class, not his usual group. I guess I’ll find out exactly later today or tomorrow. Mrs. H said she had to try not to cry, and she could see M was very upset (and he is usually pretty even-tempered/nothing upsets this kid kind of temperament).

Just spoke with Dr. S (the principal) and she spoke with M.  Long story short, it sounds like this was an isolated incident (not on-going), he knows to say something to the teacher if it happens again. The boys were spoken to. M will permanently go with the other class for special. The boy who started it was running like M and said “look, this is how M runs” and the other boys laughed. They told Dr. S that M laughed too, and she explained that sometimes when someone makes fun of you that you laugh too so it doesn’t look like you are upset when really you are. She also asked M if he sometimes teases his brother or sister and he said no (he really doesn’t) and then she asked if they sometimes tease him and he said E doesn’t, but sometimes D does, and she said it was kind of like that, and no it isn’t nice and really made sure he was still comfortable reporting stuff like this in the future. The other teacher had the *entire* class, not just the boys involved, write apology notes this AM for M as a lesson that even if you aren’t actively involved, if you see it you need to report it. Dr. S said she felt like M thought it was a bit much LOL

So, that’s that. Happily anti-climactic and hopefully wont happen again.
