Is this OP? If so, your kid didn’t take it. Only one test has to be offered to students arriving after first grade. [/quote]

Yes, I am the OP and I asked that question. Thanks a lot! I feel frustrated that zero information or guidance was provided by the school at the beginning of 3rd grade, I guess it’s expected that every parent knows everything there is to know about these programs.[/quote]

I hear you. You missed this year’s referral deadline which was January 9. You will have to wait until next year to refer him. [/quote]

Which means he wouldn’t even start AAP until 6th grade. I’m asusming he is in 4th this year? [/quote]

OP here, he is in 3rd grade currently, I suppose if he makes it then he will start around Jan 29 of 4th grade. Is that correct?[/quote]

This is not correct. He has missed the chance of taking CogAT at school and you have missed the referral deadline. This means you need to complete the process when he is a 4th grader. And if he is accepted, he will start the AAP at the beginning of the 5th grade.

You should have attended the AAP orientation meetings as another PP just mentioned.[b] You should schedule a meeting with your AART now so you know what needs to be done[/b].[/quote]

And when you do, please do not embarrass yourself by complaining that you had no idea about the process or that the information is difficult to find. It will be rude, and you’ll come off as entitled because you chose not to take responsibility. [/quote]

OP here. Some of us don’t live and die by AAP information, there was NO meeting held in October, also there was no
Parent conference either. Our experience with FCPS has been dismal. Thank you for your response though.[/quote]

I mean this gently, but are you by chance a working parent? I’ve noticed the working parents tend to miss emails and meetings often. They tend to be out of the loop when it comes to school events. Also, first quarter conferences in FCPS are held in early November. This school year they were on November 4 and 5. Some teachers choose to do them earlier in October and leave this days solely for planning. Did you miss the sign up genius perhaps? It’s usually sent by email. Sorry, but I don’t believe there was no conference offered at the end of the first quarter. Did you email the teacher to ask for one?[/quote]
