Yes: they were officially removed and our child knew it as they were no longer pulled out with other kids. |
This. Our child was not identified until cogat and then testing on some math inventory at 6th grade level while in 3rd grade. APS put him in gifted, that was a waste as it was no challenge where most in the program were just redshirted kids. We pulled out of aps after 5th grade, and our child is in 6th grade now doing trigonometry in private. |
Has anyone heard back about the program for next school year? We submitted the parent input requested by our elementary and the reply said we would hear in 90 days. I don’t want to bug anyone at the school. My husband thinks we should check in and I think we should just wait. |
Which school in APS still does pull out for gifted? |
Does your student know the RTG? |
We got the notice that my kid was referred in mid-Jan and we would hear in 90 days but haven't heard anything. I'm wondering now if it's 90 business days (which wouldn't be until June with spring break and all of the religious holidays). |
Every school and timeline will be different, but we got that final confirmation letter at the very end of school a few years ago- the last week, or maybe even the last day. |
Yes, once you’re in you’re in, all the way through. It doesn’t mean anything in high school, though- there is a range of differentiated classes to choose from, for anyone. |
We haven’t heard anything back either, but with my older child, we didn’t get that confirmation until June, just before school ended. |
My daughter's elementary school still does pull outs with the gifted teacher. My daughter wasn't identified as gifted in 2nd, but is included in the pull out. She is advanced and appreciates the extra challenge. I think it's roughly every other week during math. |
My kid would have really appreciated this. As far as I can tell, the gifted designation has been the equivalent of a pat on the head at our school. |
Same with our school. Seems to be weekly pullouts for math and every other week for… language arts, I guess. I know at least some of the kids aren’t officially “gifted” yet. In fact, I doubt they identified many kids during the virtual year, so probably most are just now being identified. |
Where are the COGAT scores posted anyway? I looked in Parentvue but did not see them. |
I think I found them under documents in parentvue. |
ASFS is famous for letting kids in if their parents lobby hard |
