[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS already has strong WISC result and some work samples gathered.  I'm crossing my fingers that she will be found eligible.  
Anyone has experience attending orientation without the invitation?  [/quote]

This is ridiculous and height of craziness. Why would you want to attend? Wait until the appeal and then ask the school to give you a tour if your child gets in.

I am still not sure why you want to attend. Are you trying to show off other parents that your kid got in? I am sure I will be bashed for this comment. But I don't see any other reason why you would want to attend..[/quote]
There's more to orientation than a tour.  The entire program was explained at ours with detailed info on various aspects for each year.  If OP gets in on appeal, there still may be a question of whether she will wish to send her child.  Orientation may answer this.  I don't see the problem you see.

If OP represents the "height of craziness" to you, you've led a charmed life indeed.  And no, that's not "bashing". [/quote]

I think any high school educated parent can figure out what goes on AAP by either reading the presentation or supporting materials that will be provided.  Besides that, it's simply not rocket science as to what they are going to be teaching.  If you are a parent and you really feel like there is no way you could ever understand the program without the orientation, maybe you should just ask your really smart kid to fill you in. They will be able to figure out how things work fairly quickly. [/quote]
Wow, you [i]really[/i] don't want OP to go to orientation.  [/quote]
