[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is in kindergarten and have heard nothing about AAP. I occasionally volunteer and there are various other adults in the kindergarten classroom. I see certain kids getting pulled out of the class. Our school is a Young Scholars school with 30% ESOL/free lunch. I have never heard of AAP or Young Scholars mentioned by a teacher or other parents. The only thing I have heard about AAP is that a large number of children go to the AAP center that is about a mile away in 3rd away.

Does this mean my child was just not selected for AAP?[/quote]

Sometime after the NNAT results were in last year,  we received a letter from our school stating that our DC was eligible for level II services in second grade.  There was a permission slip to sign for acceptance or decline.  I assume that the NNAT score was a part of the selection process at our base school.

Since the NNAT results for the current batch of kindergartners are just being received by the parents, I have to wonder if the schools have decided on the level II  services without the scores or if the decisions have only just been made.  [/quote]

It really depends on the school's AART resources for the format of pull-out, and when (K, 1st, or 2nd grade) the pull-out is taken place. DC's school did not have pull-out until 2nd grade, and his teacher told us verbally at the teacher/parent conference in October of that year.  Some kids got pull-out for math, others for English, or both.  Now that the AAP result came back, most pull-out kids in 2nd grade got in, but there is one in DC class also got in AAP without pull-out time. My guess is that most pull-out kids got decent test scores plus good GBRS (because the AART teacher would also provide inputs in their GBRS's comments - a major factor).  The kid who did not get pull-out might have gotten excellent test scores. So the bottom line is anything can happen, there is no pattern of how a child is prepared in order to get in AAP.
