Yes it's a public school.
In class he has a dedicated helper. Not on the playground.
Getting that excess energy out is the reason we've avoided taking away recess. But maybe it is necessary for the next 3 weeks.
Thanks
Do you by chance stay at home? If you do, could you go up to the school at recess time and take him for a walk around the neighborhood while the other kids play or be with him on the playground and see if that improves the situation but still allows him to get outside and burn off his energy?
Or see if you could take him in the gym and let him run some laps or play with a ball.
