Relationship with whanau

This was an email received from one of my parents who were going through a difficult health situation and requested that their child stay in my class to provide stability for the child.
I have removed their names due to privicy but this email was also sent to Charmaine Strang DP.

Hi Helen

Just to let you know I’ll pick         up around 2:45pm today so we get to her across town to her rthodontist appointment by 3:15pm.

We are absolutely thrilled with        end of year report and it’s all thanks to for being such a fantastic experienced teacher and supporting her and us through our very difficult year. 

Is there any chance we can put in a special request to stay with you for next year even though it’s normally not the done thing as you will be a Y4 teacher and know our situation well?   It would be ideal not to have the worry of resettling her as next year will be particularly tough with a both complicated lung and bowel surgeries followed by another 3 months of infusion chemo.  The cancer society team have advised us the more consistent we keep all things in her life the better she will feel secure and cope with it all and for       and I, the less stress as possible.
