[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People should give OP a bit of a break.  For both schools that my kids attended, it would have been impossible to miss the AAP meeting and information on what AAP is about [b]if you had a 1st or 2nd grader.[/b]  They advertised very heavily to those grades and made sure parents were well informed.

For older grades, the only notice you might have is a blurb in the school newsletter, which would be easily overlooked, especially if you don't really understand what AAP is.  My base school makes a point of helping 3rd-6th graders new to the school understand the AAP process, particularly if the kid's academic record suggests it would be a good fit.  OP's school does not seem like it has been nearly as helpful with new students.  [/quote]

I guess if my kid was new to a school, I'd be reaching out to the admin and the teacher to make sure I wasn't missing anything. It's spoonfed to parents of new kindergartners, but parents of older kids have to take a little more initiative since they are in the minority - most parents are familiar with the processes by that point.[/quote]
