This is kind of different advice I'm looking for. I'm sure as time get closer I'll be asking lots about the surgery, but for now I'm working with the school on how to make up missed classes.
I have a meeting scheduled with my daugthers teachers and Guidance department to discuss issues with her absence from school during surgery/recovery. She is scheduled for a February surgery (couldn't get a date around the holiday break) and I'm told will miss about 6 weeks of school.
From discussions with her Guidance office they are working on a Homebound teacher to help. I hope that they will let me know what subjects they will be able to provide Homebound studies for at this meeting 1/12.
As you can imagine my mind is all over the place. These last few weeks will be filled with Doctor appts and hospital visits which is enough - add in the school issue and I want to make sure I cover everything there too.
For those who have had surgery during the school year could you pass on any tips on what helped you/your child keep up with the classwork.
I want my daughter to put full energy into healing, but she is very concerned about passing Sophmore year of High School. For those who have been here any advice on things I should ask for during this meeting. I know everyone heals differently, but how long into recovery before school make up work was started? That would give me ideas on when I should request a teacher to visit. They said they need to know when to request a homebound teacher to start. It sounds like the first couple of weeks are hard after surgery. I wouldn't be too concerned about any of this, but it takes weeks of advanced notice to be able to get Homebound tutoring set up.
Few other things:
Did your child start back to school full days in the begining?
Was there need for medication during the school day?
Should I ask for early release from class to get her through the hallways before they are crowded?
Sorry this is long, and thanks for staying with me . This place is full of experience, and I can't thank you all enough for the information I've already received by reading though the posts.
