[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The HOPE Score is filled out by the teacher and you won't have access to this until after your kid's packet is submitted and you have to request it from the school. [/quote]

Thanks. OP here. So will there be two HOPE Scores - one for 1'nd grade and another for 2'nd grade? Also, is it possible to sort of guess what the HOPE Score will be based on the report card. In both the 1'st and 2'nd grade fall report cards , my DS has consistently scored low on the 'Life,Work Skills' - specifically on the active listening skills(3 and 2) . His current 2'nd grade teacher mentioned he is talking to others during the class and disrupting it and that she is working with him. We also told the teacher that we will work with him to get this sorted and will be in touch with on progress in this area. Besides that area, he has scored mostly 3's and 4's in the report card and has decent iReady and NNAT Score.

I am concerned what will be the HOPE Score based on the bad feedback on the active listening skills. What should i do to negate this bad feedback? I am anyways planning to touchbase with teacher to see if there is any progress on it. Is there anything i can do in the parent referral form to overcome this bad feedback.

Thanks.[/quote]

People often don't realize it, but the school will do a HOPE score every year (at least through elementary). In 2nd for any kid who is parent referred for AAP or in-pool it will be done by the school committee (typically 2nd grade teacher, AART, sometimes 1st grade teacher) and submitted with the packet.

As far as talking during class, I recommend actually [b]parenting your kid[/b] so he learns that's not OK. Rather than focusing on changing the teacher's opinion, change your kid's behavior. If your kid is disruptive, that's a problem outside of AAP referral. Think about the other kids trying to learn!

On your parent referral and parent questionaire you have to present a full picture of your kid that shows why he needs full-time AAP. Make sure to show specific examples in response to the questions as well as why he demonstrates HOPE traits in your paragraph.

But if the scores are merely "decent" it takes a great HOPE score to get in. And even with standout scores a bad HOPE will sink an application.[/quote]
