Here's my question... Do you often call a medical provider to get background details on a medical note they have written to the school or to ask for more information? I understand that there's USDA and rules but it's a MD note. Doesn't that count for...

Thank you all!!!

It's pretty much notes written with very clear instructions.. either keep the child inside for Temps below freezing and avoid a certain food for this length of time. There's no confusion.its just feeling like the doctor note should cover and he shou...

Here's my frustration .kids get sent to school with bites...are are we supposed to be able to distinguish from bed bug bites and flea bites... those are the ones we get.mostly. we don't send them home, I just feel like I struggle with that.

Head Start does Family Style Meals and lets the child choose how much to eat. Today I choose a lower carb snack with the correct serving size that will hopefully make a shorter snack time. She has a tendency to eat and eat and eat- Many serving of cr...
