Haven’t spoken to them about it, but with the whole zoom school fiasco?— I doubt it.. That’s why I’m wondering if we’d do better to wait a year so this year’s teacher can be an ally on IDing. The teacher did provide some more enriched activities for my kid though, so maybe that’s a good sign.
Yeah, the computer based test def didn’t go well for my kid. Do you think an appeal would be successful with the asymmetric numbers above though? fsiq was decent, and gai was 129 I think, but obviously some subtest areas were stronger than others.

I’m less concerned with the lower grade tag stuff, but once they’re in, aren’t they in for all,of elementary school? don’t want to keep messing around with it, would rather just get in early and be done with it. My kid doesn’t do well with computer based tests (at least not so far), so not sure how the cogat will go. Paper and pencil is way better for us.
Is the cogat given in second or third grade? Or does it depend on what district you are in? Sorry, totally new to all the testing stuff.
Might be moving to FCPS with a child entering grade 2, and I’m wondering if they will likely get access to tag services/aap going forward or if this is going to be a no go in fcps.
Kiddo whiffed on the NNAT with a 115 this summer (unprepped, but still). We have recent WISC data, but I’m not sure if we should make it available to the school, since some scores were decent and others more average.
FSIQ 126

Would sharing this make it more or less likely that kiddo would receive services? Or would receiving services be out of the question in fcps?

Obviously all parents think their kids are amazing, but I’m kinda surprised scores weren’t higher. Spouse and I were both in gifted programs and tested with high iqs as kids, and we recognize similar qualities in our kid, which is why we tested. but scores don’t show this. I truly believe kiddo needs tag/enrichment to thrive, but would we be better to keep the above info private and just see if teachers ID them as they get older or something? Basically, will fsiq of 126 on record limit their opportunities? Tia
Has anyone successfully appealed a TAG rejection in acps with a low NNAT score? Kiddo whiffed with a fairly average score (unprepped, but still). We have WISC data (unrelated to this application) and I’m not sure if we should include it, or if it will just confirm the rejection, since some scores were decent and others just average. FSIQ was 126

Is this useful, or should I leave it out?
