Hi- It's 10:30 again:

When I got the letter of rejection I made an appointment to meet with the principal to review the decision. While she couldn't show me the documents, I gently pressed for as much specific information as I could get. What lead the committee to think that she was too immature? Why did the committe think that her fine motor skills were not advanced enough? Etc...

It was hard because I wasn't able to meet with the "commitee" so all the principal could tell me was what was on the form (whether she witnessed it or not). In my strongly worded request for an appeal I address every single issue point by point using as much relevant detail as I could. When I called to make sure that my letter of appeal had been recieved, the person thanked me for submitting such a detailed letter. I wonder if the appeal letters are usually emotional rants.

I also got a "letter of recommendation" from DD's pre-K teacher. Who was shocked when I told her that DD was denied. I asked her to provide specific information in the areas of 'concern'.

I'm a realist and I know that DD, while super awesome, is not perfect. If I thought that the committee's observations were valid I would have sucked it up and moved on.

Good luck!![/quote]

Dear 10:30 parent,

Thank you so much for your advice on the appealing process. I am going through the same thing and would really appreciate the chance to hear more about it or possibly see the sample of your appeal letter. If you wouldn't mind, please email me back at chanigan@gmail.com. It would be very very helpful for my appeal.
