School Pamphlet

I updated Nick's school passport/pamphlet for the year. I just updated the one we did last year. It was a challenge to talk about the MACE without freaking anyone out. And add the bathroom issues without being TMI.

I plan to update it every year with new pictures and information. Of course on the front is all fun things about Nick. Then when you open it up it has the medical stuff (what is spina bifida, scars and hydrocephalus and shunt malfunction. Also latex allergy and common latex items in school, finally the bathroom issues.) On the inside is mobility with pictures, AFOs, canes, walker and wheelchair. on the back is more about Nick. What he enjoys how he has fun. Followed by how he may need help. At the back is about our family and contact information.

(And I just realized no blog address)

Please feel free to use this if you want to copy it for your own child.

School Pamphlet - Sept 2014 - OnLINE

A countdown to school...

Camp is done, so now comes the next big event - we can only be excited for one thing at a time.

Now it is the first day of school

 

So I pulled out all of the material we got in June and thought I should probably start reading it.

 

We got the picture book for Nick to look at.
To start to get a little more excited about school

I hadn't actually realized that Nick thought that I (or Daddy or Jennifer) was going to school with him. And he's been getting upset when we tell him that we aren't going with him.
We talk about the bus, the new friends, the teacher (her picture is in the book)

We have a parent/teacher interview next week and then the following Monday school is in!

There is a whole binder full of stuff that I should probably look more closely at (I see labour day reading in my future)

And there is a dozen  pages or so for me to fill out

And I'll include my school passport as well



A lot of this post is a review of information I already posted. But now we are in the final countdown and this is actually happening.

In 13 days

I think I'm ready. I'm not sure how to get Nick more ready.
I hope he adjusts well.
I guess we'll see.

13 days.
