[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello All, we just wanted to gain some insight into this process. Based on our child's 1st grade NNAT score, he will not be in the pool and we are inclined to do a parent referral as we believe AAP will be a very good fit for our child. We understand CoGAT or FxAT will be administered in Oct 15, but not sure when the scores are received and what they will be. In any case, we wanted to plan on a parent referral, and wanted to seek advice on that process. We went to the fcps website and looked at the requirements but wanted to know from your practical experience what works and what doesn't for work samples, recommendation letters etc. How far back can the samples go? Is it ok to provide work samples from 1st grade and K? Important things to keep in mind and do we speak to his 2nd grade teacher before we decide to do a referral? Thank you so much.[/quote]

No one can tell you what works and what doesn't work for work samples, letters of recommendation, etc.  Here is why:

If kid A has work samples from x and letters of recommendation from Ms. Smith - he could get in because, in part, those things or he could get in notwithstanding those things (i.e. not impressive to the committee members) but other things stood out or he could not get in.

Kid B could have the same exact file as kid A and he could get in when kid A didn't simply because there are different committee members looking at the respective files (unless by pure coincidence kid A's file and kid B's file were both on the same table during the review.
