Thank you very much. I will do. If anything it'll never happen again with the current administration.

That's how I felt at first, that it was honest mistake until the principal acted basically dumbfounded that such a letter existed. Then for the counselor to immediately get defensive and start blaming the front office and teachers, well it just made the situation more odd.

It was actually the presidential physical fitness awards, most improved, and most outstanding for each subject. It was 6th & 7th grade combined. She is on honor roll, but they didn't award or acknowledge that tonight and announced that they wouldn't because school year didn't end until Friday.

If anyone could give me advice on this incident, I'd greatly appreciate it.

My child is in 7th grade. She received a letter in the mail last Friday congratulating her for an award that she would receive at the school's awards night program. We went to this program, which lasted 2 hours, and she did not have her name called.

After the program was over, I approached the principal and he was unsure of what letter I was talking about-it was a copy signed by him. He called the counselor over and she immediately got defensive saying that it was the front office's fault and then started blaming teachers saying they were responsible for contacting parents by phone or email. Then both the principal and counselor said for me to bring in this letter to show them proof.


What angered me was how it made my daughter feel. I'm not sure if bringing the letter in will do any good because all they can do is apologize to my daughter; which doesn't mean anything. But I want to show them that they did in fact send this signed letter.

What would you do in this situation? This ceremony lasted around 2 hours with over a hundred kids receiving awards. One excuse offered by the counselor was that some teachers sent in too many students names for awards. I didn't see any other student in attendance without an award.

While this seems like a silly thing to get upset over, I only want to do right for my daughter.

I feel badly for the baby on the floor and the girl covering her ears on the couch.
