they wont call CPS rght?

posted 25th Oct
my 4 year old is in preschool. she has literally only gone a handful of days in the past few weeks. first she was puking. then she had diahreah. and now she has a stupid cold, running nose, sneezing, and a horse cough.

she didnt go to school yesterday because my van battery was dead thanks to the girls turning on the inside lights without my knowing. and i want to call her in again today : /

usually id let her go, but another girl in her class CANNOT get sick, becuase her mommy is really sick with cancer and she doesnt even come in the school anymore for fear of germs.. the littlest illness could really kill her.

i feel like her teachers hate me. they said the other day they are happy i keep her home when she is sick, but im wondering if they think, she REALLY is sick. but she is! ugghh idk i cant get in trouble for this because its preschool right? its not like im not making my 13 year old go to school..

Preschool isn't like mandatory so no, you can't get in trouble. Even if it were a child in say, 5th grade all you'd have to do is see a Doctor and nobody could say anything.

You really shouldn't need them. I've never heard of truancy in preschool. If they called CPS on you I'd find another school, then make sure other Mama's in the area know what idiots they are.

No. It's only preschool which isn't mandatory. If she is sick, then she's sick. It's good you're keeping her home, especially since a child's mother has cancer. As long as you're calling in and communicating with the school, I don't see why they'd have any reason to believe you're not being truthful.
And it's not abuse or neglect, so there's no reason to call CPS.

SOs niece missed less than 10 days of PreK last year, and her mom & step dad had to have a meeting with the school board, and a CPS worker was to be present! They had Dr notes for every absence, and it wasn't a big deal.

It wasn't even the entire 10 days. If she'd missed the entire 10 days she wouldn't have been allowed to "graduate"! She had a lot of medical appointments having to deal with her ADHD and getting the meds worked out. I thought it was bullsmurf. I mean, she was 4. It's not like she was laying out of school to party.

PreK isn't even a required Grade/Class. It's absolutely ridiculous that they called CPs, or that CPS even bothered to attend a meeting. I sincerely hope that your Niece isn't in that school any longer.

It's the only school where we live. You would have to drive 30 miles to get to another school. I know PreK isn't required, but it's set up exactly like the required grades, same everything (unless you send your kid to the Head Start PreK). They have the meetings once a month, and the worker shows up to them all. She's really good friends with their family, so it wouldn't have mattered if she didn't have the documentation, but she did. But we are having a smurf load of problems with our school board/Superintendent right now, so maybe that had something to do with all of it. We had the first school board in Georgia to get thrown out by the Governor and to be replaced by the state BOE. But our school is a damn good one. Pretty much 100% grad rate & all that good stuff. So it's the school you want to send your kids to around here.

Around here no one seems to care how often kids go to school. Attendance isn't mandatory to go on to the next grade like it was when I was in school.

I think you are fine because preschool isnt required.

Not for pre-school, but they can kick her out to give her spot to someone else. Thats what they do here.

If it was kindergarten or elementary school in general, they could call CPS.
They do here. My friends dd last year mist 130 days of school, cause she always said she was sick but really wasnt or just said she didnt want to go, they hated her school and her teacher and switched her this year. But the school threatened to call for neglecting her dd's education from missing too much school.

But you are safe its only pre-school.
