We have sat him down and spoke to him and he says he is fine. He did not start school as yet so there is no school kids picking on him. The kids he do go around are all Jamaicans and sounds just like him. I came from Guyana when I ws 13 so I know how it can be too but this is diffrent

Ok sorry I couldn't help more

Here is the letter to the school district superintendent: (yall knew it was coming, lol)

Dear Mr. Ignatuk:

I am writing this email to you regarding my daughter Kayana Guerrant. I have tried to reach Assistant Principal Maiers on two occasion. Once leaving him a voicemail on Thursday, May 20th and again today only to be told he wasn't in the office. I am frustrated. On Friday, May 14th a teacher by name of Mrs. Morriston confiscated my daughter's cell phone. I understand that the regulations are that cell phones are not to be used in school. According to my daughter, (and I'd be more than willing to address this with Mrs. Morriston), she was taking her cell phone from one pocket and putting it into another. Mrs. Morriston confiscated her phone or she was to be suspended for three days. That is fine with me. If my child is wrong she's wrong, but the fact that now the phone is missing when it was supposed to be returned to her and nobody seems to be calling me back and giving me a STRAIGHT answer about the phone is leaving me very frustrated and irate. I don't have the time nor energy to argue about the phone. I have two choices in this matter. 1. Someone needs to return my child's phone to me personally or 2. The school needs to compensate me for a new phone. While the phone is not in use, I still have a bill to pay on it every month. It is not fair to me that the school lost her phone. I am willing to pursue this further if need be.

　

I am awaiting your response to this email. Thank you for your time.

You too ugh...why folks gotta bring out the "rashida" in us I hope your day gets better! Have fun this weekend.

Mine is being irked by a 14 year old girl who thinks she's grown enough to put one over on her father. Well, maybe she can; but I'm a little too good at digging up info. to let her do it to him.

I have a benefit to go to tomorrow for a little girl mauled by a dog. A bunch of drunken firemen....always a good time. Sunday, my oldest graduates from high school. 400+ kids...and he's almost smack dab in the middle. Hope I can stay awake. Why does the darn thing have to start at 6 p.m.?

Sounds very professional and to the point. Kid at my son's school had the same thing happen. I didn't hear if he ever got his phone back or what they did.

I really wish you luck.

thank you

I also need to know just how far along my process is, my mom told me to send her copies of my passport and birth certificate. She started the process around the last part of December. My mom is very secretive as she does not want us to get too anxious, so I really do not have a clue about this whole process. Are you guys aware of a time line I can look at to judge how far this process has reached.
