[quote=Anonymous]Thanks again. Can you please guide what kind of work should I produce when doing parent referral, which will carry more weightage? About opinions from teacher and other FCPS personnel, should I get something from them in written and include that in the packet?[quote=Anonymous][quote]Strong WISC-IV scores should help, as would strong student work samples. Good luck! [/quote]

I agree that strong WISC-IV scores will help.  But work samples are not going to be a major factor.  As I mentioned in a previous post, work samples submitted by parents are not given a lot of weight.  The screening committee cannot tell how much of it is the child's original work and how much was done by or with the assistance of the parents.

The other thing you need in addition to good WISC scores is a strong recommendation from the school.  I would focus my energies on that more than on the work samples.  Yes, get the best work samples you can find, but realize they are not going to hold much sway.  The opinions of the teacher, AAP/GT specialist, and other FCPS personnel who work with your child are far more important.  [/quote][/quote]
