School won’t provide packets until April??

[Anonymous]

It’s absolutely ludicrous. I need to know the GBRS scores now to determine if I need to schedule a WISC. It’s not fair other schools lrovide the info sooner,

If it's so important to you that you're feeling slighted by not getting your packet, just schedule it and take your kid for a WISC. You can use it on appeal as new info.

I don’t want to spend $500 unless I absolutely have to.

What packet are you talking about? My DS1 is in 5th grade, so my info might be outdated, but in the middle of January we received the Cogat score with the notification that he was in the pool. The school sent an email early January that said everyone with a NNAT or Cogat of over 132 is in the pool. We didn't get the documentation the school sent to the county until the end of the 3rd grade.
If your child is not in the pool, I'd definitely schedule the WISC.

The packet is for parents who referred, so butt out. You obviously don’t know a thing about it.

I want to see the GBRS scores to see if it’s even worth appealing.

So schedule it for the period between when you receive the packet and when appeals are due. Cancel if need to.

The packet is for everyone. The packet includes GBRS and work samples for all kids who are being considered for AAP, this includes kid who are in the pool and kids who are parent referred. The difference is that the teachers have to provide GBRSs and work samples for kids in the pool automatically.

So kids who are in pool have packets, some of them will not be accepted because of low GBRSs or poor work samples or both.

There aren’t gbrs scores any more so it wouldn’t really help.

Yes there are. They are using words instead of numbers. The sliding scale is based on how consistently a child displays the behavior.

But then how do you explain the ignorance of the previous poster? She says, “what packet”? The reason she doesn’t know is Bc her kid was automatically in the pool and she obviously didn’t put together one. Smh.

You can get it in April. It's not being withheld from you.
