[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All I want is a copy of the packet which I am entitled to. The window between results from central committee and appeals is too short to wait to schedule the WISC. I only want to see the packet so I can determine if it’s worth scheduling a WISC. If the GBRS score is bad, I don’t want to schedule a WISC. And I don’t want to just schedule one and then cancel.[/quote]

OP, I'm the PP you told to butt out. As I said before, I got the stuff that the 2nd grade teacher and the AART teacher put together for my ds1 at the end of 3rd grade. If this is the package you are talking about, there's nothing magical about it. You won't read anything like this child is brilliant and belongs in the AAP. The language was very neutral and my DC got a 14 out of 16 and had 140 nnat and 138 cogat, so you'd think they'd write something complimentary. It won't help you decipher if your child will get in or not based on that package. 
I was just trying to help. If I were in your shoes and not in the pool, I'd schedule the WISC. [/quote]

Your child had a great package. The test scores and the GBRSs made it clear that your child would be accepted. If the OPs childs test scores are under or close to 132, the GBRS matter a great deal. If the GBRS are mediocre, there is a possibility that the child will not be accepted.

It sounds like this was a parent referal, meaning the test scores were under the 132 thereshold for the child to be automatically in pool. A 132 on the NNAT ior CogAT means the child is in pool automatically. So lower test scores and a parent referal are going to require stellar GBRS. The OP is desperate to get their child into AAP and is planning on appealing if the child is not accepted. They want to schedule a WISC for that purpose but a WISC is expensive.

OP, we get it, you want your package. Nothing you post on this site is going to help you. Biting off the head of someone who posted their experience is not going to help you. Asking your AART teacher multiple times for the package is not going to help you.

I get it,it is frustating that some AARTs are giving packages to parents early and yours is not. That sucks. It is frustrating that the county doesn’t enforce one system offelivery for scores and packets. It is frustrating to see people post about their packets. Got it. But beating your head against the wall is not going to change any ting.

You are far too investd in this program. It is kind of not healthy. Everyone wants the best for their child. AAP sounds nice and great but there are a lot of success stories coming out of Gen Ed as well. Your child is 7-8, they will survive and probably thrive if you love them and help giude them. Breath and chill out. If you feel this must pressure around AAP, you are going to be a real mess when college applications are submitted.[/quote]
