When advocating it's always a good idea to send the follow up letter and a thank you note, even if things don't necessarily go quite right. We've all learned that here!
Today, when I walked into the school to pick up my kids, the principal HUGGED me! Why? Because I took the time to write a letter to the Superintendant of our district regarding all that they've done for my DS. The Super sent me a nice e-mail in return thanking me for taking the time to write to her. I thought that was the end of it. I found out today that she had forwarded my letter to the entire district and I spent all afternoon getting huge smiles and thanks from the staff at our school.
Since we are going to need lots more support in the next few years, I feel like this letter has helped smooth over future bumps in the road. Don't forget to say Thanks!!
