[quote=Anonymous]My daughter was principal placed in AAP for all classes in 6th grade (only after we had many calls and meetings with her school to convince them).  We applied several times in the past and didn’t get in or on appeal.  This year I had a conference with her teachers after the 1st grading period and wrote down all of the positive things her teacher said about her and how she is thriving in the class quoted them in our parent submittal.  She also had almost all 4s on her report card (better than when she was in the general ed class).  I included all of the school based activities that she is in: chorus, pyramid honors chorus, all county chorus, SCA, Science Olympiad, bus patrol, etc.  I think one of the major things that helped was she completed the entire Lexia Program through the 8th grade level in December.  She was the first and still only child in 6th grade to complete.  She is also learning another language on her own and reads several books a month for fun.  I pointed out that in 5th grade the peer group in her class was reading books that are lower than the level my daughter was reading in 2nd grade and that she didn’t have a peer group to work with.[/quote]
