Page 2 lists a lot of the traits that they want to see. Explain how your child is exhibiting that trait, and use the specific verbiage in the GBRS form. Include new work samples, and explain how the sample demonstrates at least one of the traits.

I wouldn't say that your kid is bored, but you can say that your kid tunes out or becomes disengaged if the material isn't challenging enough.

The HOPE score does look pretty low for a kid with the CogAT and iready scores. You might be able to use the low HOPE in your favor as evidence that your child who is advanced in all subjects is not thriving in the gen ed classroom. This is especially true if most of the social ones were the ones with lower ratings.

Thanks for the inputs! Yes, the lower ratings were all on the social aspects so I think that could be used as a reason for the appeal.

Does the appeals cover letter have to be 1 page single sided as well like the work samples?

If you want them to read it, yes.
