Absolutely! Just explain in your letter how your child's ADHD makes them need a more engaging, challenging, hands-on environment. Also, it doesn't hurt to mention that the AAP teachers are better trained in handling 2E kids and would be better equipped to support your child. |

NNAT & COGAT were not great. My child is complicated to say the least… she is NOT a good student as she has a ton of trouble focusing and has serious emotional/impulse issues.
She was referred for an IEP by the teacher and has gotten one in late January. Prior to that, the teacher had mentioned to me during a meeting that she thinks my child is “brilliant and is clearly bored in class.” Her therapist and her doctors think she is so smart and wanted me to pursue an IQ test, but I always resisted because I didn’t see the point of it. As per the process to see if she qualified for an IEP, the school psychologist met with her a bunch of times and, among other things, tested her IQ and told us it is 136. He also said to us that she probably would need level IV services. She did not get in. Should I appeal? In one hand, I feel AAP n my ay be too much for her especially as she gets into 4th grade a d beyond. It does require a lot of organizational skills to keep up with all the assignments and projects (my older child is in AAP). On the other hand, I can’t help but hope that being among kids more like herself (2E is very common) and seeing more challenging content or pace, may be helpful to her. Also, it is a bit early to say with confidence, but it seems the new medication regimen she is now has done wonders. Should I appeal and include the school psychologist report? |

My guess is that the emotional/impulse issues you referenced significantly impacted the GBRS. My advice would be to wait out third grade, see if the IEP and medication make differences, and reassess for applying next year. You know your child best, but I’d be afraid that I was setting them up for failure and a lot of unnecessary stress until things settle down. If the GBRS is low, an appeal won’t matter. |

If you get your hands on the GBRS, please come back and share because maybe they were the deciding factor. NNAT = great; COGAT = okay. |

This OP is proof that begging for your child to get principal placed into AAP will eventually get your child into full time AAP. It’s not that her child is smart enough to get into AAP, it’s that she was able to set her child up for success by getting her principal placed. This is why ALL children should be given access to the AAP curriculum and why average kids should be allowed to mix with above average kids. |

The email goes to the parent of record (not sure that is the correct term, it means the main parent for contact). Maybe ask your spouse if they got the email? |

My spouse and I both received the email. |

Umm where did you get that I begged my kid to be principal placed ( I didn’t but maybe it makes you feel better to make assumptions) And no not every kid principal placed makes into full time AAP. A few of the kids who were in my oldest’s level IV class are now taking Honors not AAP in MS. I also was not the one who referred the youngest above to full time AAP (bc I realized starting in MS, AAP is not as big of a deal). That was the AART. But here is where I agree with you—I think eligibility for AAP should be reevaluated every year vs deciding on it just based on early ES test scores and 2nd grade teacher reports. And you also bring up another issue I’ve found with AAP. It’s not really for gifted kids. It’s for above average to bright kids. And if FCPS had a solid gen ed program, parents wouldn’t be so desperate. |

My spouse also received the email and doesn't have a SIS account (or at least hasn't ever logged in and wouldn't know how to). |
