[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Write a letter describing your observations of your child and have it ready in case you need to appeal.

Was the HP book report for a school assignment? You could include that in the appeal as evidence of reading and writing level. What other books has your child read at school? It helps if the teacher has been seeing all year that the books the class reads are not challenging for your child.

No, it was reading at home but it was used in a book report for school (recently so after GBRS scores were done).  Also reading other chapter books and is interested in the biographies (loves the "Who is . . .? books and the choose your own ending history books). [/quote]

I think you should submit work samples even NOT from school. The 5 pages of work samples I submitted were ALL things my kid did by herself at home.[/quote]

Also put a note on each sample (I typed ours) as to why you are including it as a sample...out-of-box thinking, or creativity, or strong attention to detail, etc.  we did this with the samples we provided for our DD, and the AART teacher stopped me in the hall to say I had put together a very strong packet.[/quote]

I did this for DC2 because I saw that the AART did it for DC1 a few years ago. Both kids had borderline, but in-pool,  scores, GBRS 12, both admitted first round.[/quote]
