[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you so much for the helpful responses!

To answer your question — yes, I already submitted the appeal and I’m currently waiting for the result.

I also wanted to ask: if it turns out he doesn’t get accepted through the appeal, when would be the right time to reach out to the principal? Should I wait until the appeal results come out, or should I go ahead and contact her now to express my interest in keeping him in the program?

Also, what’s the best way to reach out — is it okay to email her directly, or is there a better approach that worked for other parents?

Thanks again for all the advice and insights!

I would wait until the appeal results come out.  When my child was rejected from AAP in second grade, I emailed the principal before the end of the school year to ask that he be principal-placed. I included reasons why I thought he would do well in the AAP classroom.  The principal responded with a short but kind email that they would take it into consideration.  My son was then eventually principal-placed the next year, but I don't know if my email made a difference.

One note is that you might also want to include the AART on the email.  The AART this year told me that she has some influence over who gets principal placed at our school.  [/quote]

Actually, I was asking because my kid got in through principal placement without me emailing her, so I think they make their decision on their own.[/quote]

So you're saying you don't need to email her?  That's fine too.  I don't understand your question then. [/quote]
