[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I should have asked - what did you put on the parent referral form? "My kid's teacher thinks she would be well served by the program?" or something else?

This is a really good question - thank you for posting.

I am going to refer my 2nd grader even though we don't have the CogAT scores back yet.  I admit I'm a little on the fence about it, but if she qualifies I want her to have the opportunity.

Her class is big this year, and I think she does well with more engagement - i.e. - I chaperoned a field trip and she was really into that format of question/answer from the guide, and I could see her using the classroom knowledge to apply it to what we were seeing on the field trip.

She's doing really well in her core subjects and it just seems like she could use more.

I'm not sure what I am going to say on the referral form, but some part of the above.

Her teacher this year is fine, but with the class size and some of the personalities I think she's not getting all she could.  [/quote]

NP.  There's a lot of treading water in 2nd grade (and in 1st, too).  In 3rd grade in FCPS, academics really step up, whether gen ed or AAP.  [/quote]

Not at our school. Gen Ed and AAP.[/quote]
