[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last year, 12/15 was the last school day before winter break; this year, the last school day before winter break is 12/20.  One hopes that they won't hold on to the scores so parents can't contact the school if they have questions, but the notification schedule only says parents will find out "before winter break."  https://www.fcps.edu/academics/student-tests-assessments/grade-level-tests

You think the strategy is to give the parents no time to call the school so they give scores the day before winter break?[/quote]

Well, there is something twisted about holding onto the information for so long.  Yes, parents can provide referrals, [b]but they are time-consuming, and I might prefer to save my additional information in case of an appeal.  [/b]These computer-based test scores should not be so slow to come out.  When administered online, CogAT scores are available immediately or within a few days (including "norming").  Any additional time to process is based on FCPS internal procedures and policies.  [/quote]

How do you even make it through the day? I hope you’re setting aside a few minutes to eat in between writing that half page of information. Strength to you, sister! [/quote]

Wtf? It is definitely time consuming if you're doing it right!

+1. It's easier than a private school application, but still requires thought and work to come up with specific examples of GBRS and HOPE-linked traits in the parent paragraph, then 5 other examples in the parent questionaire, and then have your kid write up a small description of 2 work samples that fit neatly on a 2 PDF pages with everything being readable.[/quote]

[b]I never spent any time on any of that. I figured if my kids belonged in AAP, it would be obvious through whatever our aart submitted for my child. I was correct. [/b][/quote]

Most BS thing ever said by a parent ever on this forum ...

You don't know any parents like that? I live in a mid-SES area and know tons who are firmly in that camp.

That said, our AART always encourages parents to at least fill out the paragraph referral.[/quote]

In our low-SES area base school district, getting into AAP means getting at least some education, as opposed to being the teaching aide for other people's kids.  So no, we don't rely solely on the AART who may be a good person but doesn't care as much as we do about our kid.   [/quote]
