[quote=Anonymous]Don't. Many years ago, I sought a way for my DC to start kindergarten "early." DC's birthday is Jan 1, missing the then-cutoff by only hours. DC's best friend, born Dec. 31 was going and my kid wanted to go, too. We sought an exception per MoCo policy (an evaluation by a certified K teacher, permission of the principal, attestations from DC's preschool) and were rejected. I thought it was a tragedy at the time and even sought other work-arounds (kindergarten at a private school and later transfer back to MCPS--friends tried it and their kid was placed into kindergarten again due to age). Fast forward years, DC did well in school and it never really mattered being a little older. Just go with the county rules. There will be kids with similar b-days to hers and even a few who are older.[/quote]
