[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the child has been at the same school since K, there are a number of people who have been seeing the child regularly enough to have good observations to add. Even if the child has only been at the school for second grade, he or she has come into contact with the classroom teacher, the specials teachers, the AART, the school counselor, even the principal. Kids in an elementary school are not anonymous; the staff really get to know a lot of the kids and have appropriate observations to include in the GBRS.

You would figure but that's not always the case. Case in point, a scheduled meeting w/ the AART who didn't know DC (or younger sibling) both of whom everyone else knows.[/quote]

Did the AART say, "I don't know your children and I have never seen them in class"?

AART wasn't that tone deaf. AART did mention that they covered a few schools, was very busy, asked for our DC's name at the beginning of our scheduled parent meeting to discuss AAP process (we parents and DC share the same last name, DC would be the only 2nd grader to have that name) and didn't share any perspective or experience AART had w/ DC. When asked, our DC (who recounts every other teacher they've encountered, even ones from higher grades) didn't know AART's name or role. Hope that answers your question. [/quote]

You are unhappy with the responses you received from the AART in a meeting.  Luckily, everyone else in the school knows your children so they should get GBRS  scores and commentaries that reflect their behavior at school. The AART is only one person who contributes to the GBRS; it sounds like there are plenty of others at school who see your children regularly and are able to provide input.
