[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Put your child in the grade he is academically prepared for. If they cannot fit in socially, you can move them back. I promise though, you will not need to do that. Also, you have more than 6 months to prepare your child for that. Place your child in 2nd.

Not if the school turns them down for 2nd.[/quote]

OP here - yes, I distinctly got the impression that if we said no, we still want to be considered for 2nd, then we'd be getting a "thanks, but no thanks" letter very soon.

Because I said okay to 1st grade evaluation instead, I think we're still in the running then.[/quote]

They will take him for 2nd, they just want you to agree to 1st without any pushback.

OP here - I know I'm totally overthinking this, now that I've seen so many responses 🤣

I believe if they evaluate for 1st and accept at 1st, then that's what we'll be doing for the Fall. I don't get the impression that the question was a test.[/quote]

Seemingly sounds like school has already decided what they want without doing its due diligence and what is best and appropriate for the child. Of course, they will say 1st grade because they already had their mind made up. I would not want my child to attend this school. This is not right. Red flags and I see OP as an easy target.  -Dp.
