[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is bright and advanced in reading and math (99th percentiles on I-Readys, CogAT 132). Recently his teacher finds him less self-regulated (went from a 4 to a 3). I've noticed a decrease in the quality of his work over the last several weeks. Careless mistakes and omissions, and messy writing (he's capable of better). He tells me he has trouble focusing because he's sitting near some of the worst behaved children in the class. He asked if he could be moved and his teacher said she'd think about it. 
:(  I also made the same request and I'm waiting to hear back.

I don't think he's conscientious by nature, but he definitely has the ability to muster it under some circumstances. Unfortunately, the classroom is a zoo and this is not bringing out his best work or behavior.

I parent referred for AAP but am not optimistic he'll get in due to not being in pool at our mid-to-high SES school and some omissions from the packet (no mention of reading I-Ready or LII placement for LA, or any mark for exceptional talent on that front). I feel very frustrated and am not entirely sure what to do. [/quote]

I would email the principal and the AART about the omissions on the packet form. I would call the AAP office and ask what to do with about the missing info on the profile page. This happened to our child there were 3 errors on that page that I didn’t notice until it was time for the appeal. It was too late for a new profile page but the school acknowledged the errors corrected things in the system because they were not updated and that’s why the page didn’t have the right information. I had to add an extra sheet explaining the errors and had to submit the form showing he was level II in all subjects. Anyway you should get the missing information corrected [/quote]
