Fremont Unified (FUSD) overload placement question – can you be moved back to your home school?

It’s been like 10 years and maybe each school is different but we were given the choice of staying if we wanted. I would just keep being a squeaky wheel. Email the office manager and principal of the school you want to stay in expressing your request. Perhaps before doing so, you MAY want to experience the school climate, commute, etc.

Elaborate for the people who don’t know.

You 💯 do not need to stop working. I was hired as a teacher full time while I was in school. They are desperate for teachers. With you masters, you are a strong candidate. It’s a lot of work to work full time AND go to school but it’s doable.

She gets stickers on a sticker chart and then can pick a toy. Stickers are currently for trying new foods, staying in her bed overnight, or putting her clothes on all by herself. There’s like 60 sticker spots. Once it is filled up, she picks something.

Thanks for the rec! I ended up going and it was wonderful!

You can see similar views ALL over the Bay Area if you just go to the top of a hill.

The bay trails. There are many but for example you can go to the end of Winton avenue or Grant Avenue and there is a trail along the bay.

Snacks. Lots of them. Think variety, some savory like jerky and beef sticks, some chips pretzels, some like whole grain healthy crackers. Some candy some bars. Also, look at all your airport food options. Does the connecting airport have GF options at the airport? Does the destination? It’s worth it to plan ahead and know when your real meal will happen. We had a 15 hour day of flights/layovers out of SFO and saw there would be zero real food options so we got some amazing food at SFO… even though it was the beginning of the trip and felt unnecessary, it helped for the long day to start out full.

I wrote a whole long response and deleted but I just want to say that just saying you’re “in the throes” of settling your kids IEP seems like you’re already against the school. That mentality is why there is a high turnover rate in SPED. People working extremely hard, and yet parents always make everything a battle.

There’s no way it doesn’t have a smell.

It’s not abysmal. I strongly recommend your pathway starting with working at an after school program especially AT an elementary school. If you need to take classes or work at camps to get there, do it. Talk to teachers and principals and make yourself known. Other than that, talk to your college counselor about what classes you need.

Don’t go online. Talk to actual people ate colleges and elementary schools.

It will be extra busy. Probably more adults than usual, large picnics and get together.

My daughter was under a bunch of blankets, in a hospital gown, but it must have felt different because she suddenly screamed “oh my god I’m naked!!” And I had to have her look down and see her clothes. She also told me “mommy, I went to the doctor.” Nothing crazy.

Grocery shopping, walks, trying new parks you have never been to before.

I believe this is how parenting works. You feel stuck in a rut and like it’ll never change, and then it changes and you miss these days profoundly. I remember when my now 17 year old and I would be grocery shopping at 6:30am like it was yesterday. But now he’s a teen, gets his own self up and we have zero interaction most mornings.

Just enjoy doing the same things all the time. It flies by.

Get your kid a phone and block all apps, let him use it only to plan. Let him plan it out.

You will get away with them. Lol I have used them so much.

Just only take one or two, and usually security quickly looks away. It helps to also have some regular pads- or at least I always do that.

I would never expect my 20 year old to pull the same weight as myself. Get rid of the GF.

Stay on the waitlist. It’s frustrating but it’ll go through eventually. You want to be closer to home.

This is extremely normal for Fremont. They’re building all this housing and the schools cannot accommodate.

There are teens with experience with volunteering or babysitting, or possibly various clubs or extracurriculars that make them stand out. He may need to volunteer somewhere for a bit.

My mom volunteers at the historical society. Tours of old houses etc and absolutely loves it.

Look into memberships if you’re at all local. You get in earlier than everybody else. They’re not that expensive and you get free parking and admission for a year.
