[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We didn't have any student presenters at our orientation. I thought the presentation of the curriculum and overview of the program was terrific. The principal did discuss the challenges of the school being overcrowded and warned of big class sizes. She also emphasized that just because your child was found eligible did not mean you should automatically assume AAP is a good fit. She encouraged parents to really assess what they think would be the best environment for their particular child. The school counselors also spoke at length about how 3rd grade is a big transitional year and that changing schools and/or starting AAP makes it an even bigger change and talked with parents about being supportive and encouraging (ie don't flip out if your kid gets a 3 on their report card or is no longer top of his/her class! is how I interpreted that...) Overall, a good presentation. Kids were out for their own classroom orientations.[/quote] Wow, this sounds great! What school?[/quote]
