For a one-minute test? Come on.

From second grade and up, that enrichment group is primarily focused on novel studies, literature circles, and writing skills.

OP here and what I’m trying to convey is that’s what it was like at our school last year. This is a change, at least grade wide for both my kids grades. I would be careful assuming that you will keep ANYTHING for above level kids in MCPS.

We also turned down a CES spot, and felt good about it last year for my older one. Jokes on us because this year is so so much worse. Won’t make that mistake again for my youngest if we get the chance.

Presuming your older one is not in a math group during FIT/WIN block, he or she should be receiving the CKLA enrichment that AEI created specifically for FIT/WIN. Reach out to the reading specialist and AEI and ask why that's not happening.

It was in the AEI feedback council last year (which you should join if you aren't currently going to and you have kids who need enrichment). They previewed the enrichment options there and explicitly said that WIN/FIT enrichment had special enriched novel studies built in for kids who need enrichment in ELA and showed us some of those resources.

It is referenced. here, but not in as much detail: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qjZQszwhRdJWDyytHY3161Z9FUMZVjJg_KGbJksopMw/edit?tab=t.0
