Lots of good ideas here. Thanks everyone.

I have a new plan. (Not Plan B, as by now we must be on Plan E or F or G). Yesterday Son got the “you are on probation letter” and it listed lots of resources. I’m going to check out those resources…I’ll forget that Son is very bright with a disablity. I’ll pretend that Son is one of those kids who barely got through HS.

I do think that the school is sadistic, however. The academic probation letters were received yesterday, and all offices are closed today for the “chancellor’s fair.” I’m sure I’m not the only alarmed person wanting help and reassurance, only to get the “we are closed today” message.
