[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anybody know of any 2nd grade children who were designed GT per the letter that came home this month? So far, I know zero. Something fishy is going on. [/quote]

Yes, mine was, but also listed as on grade level with no enrichment. Which seems odd. We’re not aiming for a magnet so I’d rather have the enrichment. [/quote]

Did your child get 5s in both EOL assessments? [/quote]

(NP) My kid got the designation and only even had records for three of four academic measures (i.e. the first EOL was just blank); he "met the criteria" for parent and teacher input though, so I think all of that together was sufficient under whatever standard they are applying now.  It's sort of unfair that kids only got [i]three [/i]chances to meet [i]four [/i]academic markers; even though it did not affect my kid, it seems problematic.

In terms of impact, he just got some sort of verbiage about "enrichment on grade level," which seems like what he is already getting, so even if the G&T designations is not "meaningless," practically speaking, it seems close...

I'd be curious if anyone managed to leverage the designation (or lack thereof) to skip to Math 4 (which is what I think DC really needs).  [/quote]

My kid met the teacher and parent input and the MAP cut off. But got 4’s on the assessments. [/quote]
