Spoke with Toni Salinas' father in Spanish about Toni's

behavior that day. He had gotten into a physical altercation
in Mr. Anderson's class with another child. Since the
altercation was verbal and resulted in the boys shoving each
other and no punches thrown and this was Toni's first offense,
we wanted to allow him and his wife to handle this at home
but if there is a next time, he would get an office referral. Also
let him know that the other child's parent was contacted as
well and was being reprimanded accordingly. Mr. Salinas
asked me what exactly happened and I explained to him that
since I was not present at the time of the incident, I can only
go off what the original teacher told me and I was only contacting
him because no one else spoke Spanish. He understood, stated
he and his wife would discuss it with their son, thanked me, and
hung up the phone.
Toni remained at the school for a couple more days. While he was
there, he was more focused on his work and did not talk or play
with his classmates as often as before. He left the school because
his family moved and he had to transfer.
