[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are both in the APS gifted program along with 30% of their classmates. 
They seem to base it off the NNAT tests in second grade and teacher reccos (Cogat and grades in 4th) . We got a letter from the school asking to submit an application, we did and both kids got in. Both tests are in Nov/ Dec from memory.

My second grader is given more challenging math and writing material but is not in a formal pull out

The 5th grader is part of a formal group for reading, essay writing. We get some extra emails and challenges for science. Math she is doing with the class.

Overall its pretty low key which i like.

Once you get a gifted designation it continues into middle school although not sure what it actually means.

I wonder if it differs by school. For the first, we got a call first and a letter after just saying the gifted ID had been made and now I get form letters from the gifted resource teacher with the report card. My K kid meets with that same person, with a small group, but in the class. Still havn't been notified of that; guess they are waiting for the 2nd grade N-test. Can't ever remember what it's called. That ipad game thing.[/quote]
