[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is an October 1st birthday. Misses the cutoff to start kindergarten by a few hours. Has anyone successfully been able to get their October birthday child into APS "early?"[/quote] Don’t push him ahead. Now with the mid August start time, your kid will be 4 for almost 2 months in K. Modern K is NOT designed for young boys, it’s just not. There’s so much sitting and waiting and being quiet. It’s hard for kids, harder for boys, and basically impossible for young for K boys. If you said your daughter, I might feel differently. But there’s no way you should be trying to get your too young son into K early. It won’t do him any favors. Let him be the oldest, it’s a benefit. Wish my September boy was an October bday! [/quote]
