[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are moving to NOVA this summer and are exploring options for my son. He is currently in gifted program in our local state (based on his COGAT) and will be moving to 5th grade. I tried to search for information and even tried to call the AAP center but had no luck, can someone please help answer my questions here?

1. I see there are different levels of AAP, is full time meaning the kid will be 100% at a different school? How does the logistic (like schools bus etc.)work?
2. Looks like we have to enroll him in a school first and then submit an application? And it doesn’t require anything else other than his registration number and COGAT score, is the eligibility guaranteed (if he is 99% or 98%)? [/quote]

It’s going to make you crazy, OP, because he’s going to be stuck in the non-AAP class for at least half a year. Just make sure you do some sort of math enrichment or if your school has “local level IV” then ask to have him “principal placed” into the AAP class at least for math since it is much more accelerated at grade 5 than the gen Ed math class. Try to have patience, and just have gentle persistence.[/quote]
