Case: Not showing up for school
I have these two girls that are siblings who do not come to school often. Their mother and father keep saying they have car issues. They come 3 days out of the 5 that they are suppose too. They are behind in their reading and math levels. I also notice that the two girls do not have good hygiene. I want to help, but I don't know how too. What do you think?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
First and foremost you should notify the counselor at your school. You always want to have documentation of what is done. Mention your concern about their hygiene as well. This may be correlated. I know of a student who actually lived in a car with his mother and sister. When the car broke down he was unable to get to school. I would hate for this to be a similar situation.
Once you speak to the social worker and counselor at your school consider sending home any pamphlets you have about perhaps bus schedules or what have you. If the parents are having a problem OTHER than car troubles and do not divulge this information to you, then it's best if you don't make assumptions about any correlation of issues. Instead, offer information about their children using the bus, even if temporary.
As for the reading and math the most important thing you can do is get an RTI process moving. These can be lengthy, so the sooner you get this started the faster you can give these students help. |

Comments: This is exactly what I would do. Reporting everything that is happening to the school counselor and keeping a detailed journal. You can never be certain of what is going on at home and your main priority is to make sure the children are in a safe environment. |

Comments: Fantastic post! This response addressed all aspects of the issue including, RTI for the academics as well as involving the guidance counselor and social worker so that any available resources can be provided to the family. It was also a great suggestion to provide information about the bus. |

Comments: I feel that it's important to make documentations of when the student attends class by taking attendance and also telling the counselor of any concerns and for advice of what to do next would be helpful and beneficial to the student involved. |

Comments: Parts of this solution (contact other professionals and inform them of your concern) are helpful. Other parts should be addressed more directly - if the student is not cared for then it's more than just car issues. Academics need to be addressed in the classroom first before moving on to asking for help from RTI but if the student isn't at school RTI isn't useful because the student is not around enough to respond to any intervention. |

Comments: Great suggestion. If I were in your situation I would do this. Counselor should be notified at once, just in case something is wrong, they can help with a ride to school along with other issues they may have. |
