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]

[b]I made sure I mentioned DS's achievements (Iready, Level II etc) on parent questionnaire and cover page.[/b]  It's just double insurance.  If the packet was already submitted, there is nothing you can do except appeal if he's not accepted.  I guess you'd have additional evidence in omission to support your appeal. [/quote]

I wish I'd thought of this! But yes, I will add omitted info in the appeal.

To the other poster who said we should contact the principal or the AART, I don't want to be "that parent" because I feel it could do more harm than good, however I did inquire to the AART asking why 'reading' and 'writing' weren't checked off on the HOPE even though he received a 560 on his grade 1 Spring I-Ready (99th) and has LII services for LA. The AART previously mentioned that this I-Ready was not included because (inexplicably) they only include I-Readys from Fall of first grade. But that doesn't mean this information should not be used to make determinations in the HOPE. I don't have high hopes for a helpful response but I couldn't just not say anything. Sigh... [/quote]

At the very least, you'll have a lot of good information to include in the appeal, if he is not accepted. It would be hard for them to argue with a 99 percentile score on the iReady.    [/quote]

Would it though? I thought at some schools everyone is in the 99th percentile... [/quote]
