Thomas

I am really concerned about Thomas.  He got out of school suspension last week for "fighting" on the bus.  The principal said it sounded as if horsing around got out of hand and Thomas ended up hitting the boy in the face with his backpack.  There was never a bus referral made so I haven't heard the bus drivers view of things and I would really like to know what happened.  I am sure Thomas is not telling me the whole truth.  He was out of school from Thursday of last week until he went back today. Fall break was Monday-Wednesday.

He was given work to do, his assignments for the 3 days, and started them on Thursday.  I know he worked on some on Friday.  Wednesday night I looked at his assignment sheet to compare to the work, mostly worksheets and to read Fall of the House of Usher ; he had done and he had done almost nothing!  I told him to work on it while I was at work yesterday and have it done before I got home but I would be lenient about the book as it was longer and he reads before bed.  When I got home he was watching TV, which I told him he was not allowed to do, and had done NOTHING!  We spent last night until after 11 doing it and both De and I help.  De more than she should have.

Today I looked in his backpack and it was all still in there.  Two of the worksheets were graded but not the rest of them.  His report card was also in there and NOT good.  I put it all back and asked him to see his backpack.  I asked him if he got his report card today and he said no.  I asked him again and reminded him he would get in more trouble for lying.  He still denied.  However it had still magically disappeared.  I told him I would e-mail his teachers 

Dear Laura, Cindy, Christine, and Alisa,
I am very concerned about Thomas.  He came home today and told me he did
not receive his report card.  Since yesterday was grade card day I was
wondering what his grades are.  I also saw that he did not have grades
on some of the work he was to have handed in today and it was still in
his backpack.  I want to make sure you all got his work. Laura, he also
told me he did not have the Fall of the House of Usher  test
today. 
I want to make sure he is doing his work, getting in on time and how he
is doing on it.  He as had homework very few times and I wondered if
this was common. 
I am also worried about his social life, how he is adjusting and if he is
having any troubles with other kids.  I would like to get any grade and
behavior prolems taken care of before he gets behind or miserable. 
Without your input and help I don't know what to do and as you are with
him most of the day I feel that you would be more than qualified to help
me. 
I would like to be able to work together to get him back on track.
You can reach me at this e-mail address or mawitkowski@gmail.com, call my home at 865-935-4614 or my cell at 865-712-7374.  You can reach me at anytime in any of these ways. 
Thank you for your help in this situation.
Sincerely,
Monica Witkowski,  to find out what was going on and  he was ok with it.  I have no idea where he out it but it's gone.

I am sooo disappointed in him I don't know what to do!  Any ideas?
