[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your child has high iReady scores for reading, then I wouldn't worry too much about the advanced checkboxes for reading/writing. [/quote]

That's what I thought too but the AART seemed to suggest this wasn't relevant. The school is mostly mid-to-higher SES and it was suggested that DC is just one of many who are reading well and not so advanced as I think. Yet I'm skeptical that many in the class got 99th on reading for the I-ready and DC's score on the VALLSS was almost perfect. But as mentioned in another thread, DC's I-ready score for reading was not included in the packet (I failed to mention it myself in the app because I assumed it would be included but was not; for some unknown reason this school only included the reading I-Ready from Fall, which DC did not complete).

The problem is these omissions, and the not-great work samples they submitted, suggest a not-very-advanced reader/writer. My work samples and narrative suggest more, but they may discount it as it comes from me. Nevertheless, with the appeal and the option to submit 5 new samples, I will try to convey a more accurate picture that they can't easily dismiss.[/quote]

Your AART can still send a copy of the reading I-ready score.  Send an email letting your AART know they when you reviewed the packet you realized they mistakenly omitted the I-Ready reading score of 99th percentile and ask the AART to send the score.  Copy the Principal and Kristen Maloney (she is the head of AAP for FCPS).  That way your AART can’t tell you that they aren’t allowed to send the score.  It isn’t “equitable” for some students to have the committee see their reading I-Ready score and your child’s 99th percentile score not be included.[/quote]

I was already told by the AART that it was not an error. That they only included Fall I-ready scores for first grade. My child didn't have one so it wasn't included, and the spring one was deliberately not included. They said "only two iReady scores are displayed on the AAP page 3 of the summary sheet for any 2nd grade student, not just [child's name]:  the iReady Lexile level from the fall of first grade and the mathematics percentile from the fall of second grade."
