Keep excellent documentation, and note anything that seems even the least bit off. Keep every e-mail, the ones she sends and your replies.
Also talk to other teachers who either have had or currently do have this student. It sounds like you've got a great administration, go to them with concerns and issues.
I didn't have a good administration so I left teaching. (I'm actually one of the few teachers who made it a whole year there!
)
Just document everything, and remember while your focus is on the academics, you have to look out for that kid, too. He or she may be dealing with a lot more than just what you see on the surface. I had a student like that, and it broke my heart. My administration wouldn't do ANYTHING because he was a paying student at a private school. My heart still breaks for him though.
