[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]For those of you with current FCPS 2nd graders, when did you receive a letter telling you your child was eligible -- with the forms to fill out, etc.? I have a 2nd grader, but I still haven't received that letter -- and these posts are making me think I should have received it already.

I didn't receive her scores from her ES until mid-January. I will call the school, whenever it's back in session . . .

Thanks so much. [/quote]

You definitely would have received the letter by now, but you don't need to waste time calling the school at this point.  The cutoff score is 130.  If your child does not have a 130 in at least one subtest or as a composite score, s/he's not in the pool.  (You don't receive a letter telling you your child is not in the pool; it is sent only to those in the pool.)

If you still want to refer, you do need to get going on it ASAP.  Get on the FCPS website, read the parent information packet, complete the forms and have them ready to submit as soon as school reopens.  As noted by a PP, the deadline for parent referrals was Friday, Feb. 5th, but (luckily for you!  :wink: ) school was closed that day, so referrals will be accepted on the day school reopens.  If it were me, I would get everything finished today.  It's unlikely school will reopen on Monday, but I'd rather have everything in hand, just in case.        [/quote]

My second grader did score over 130 -- on both the math and verbal sections of the CoGAT. I think my ES is slow. As I mentioned, I didn't get her scores until a few weeks ago.

My older son is at a center, and I do remember getting the letter/packet for him. I didn't submit any extra material for him, but I remember filling out the one-page form . . .

Thanks again.[/quote]
