[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]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]

Again, the work samples you include are not terribly important.  Well, it's all important, but the work samples will not make or break the file.  You are limited to 5 pages of student work so just gather the best things you can find.  It sounds like you need to visit the FCPS website and download the referral packet to see what you are allowed to include and what the page limitations are.  Essentially it is a couple of forms, 5 pages of student work, and 5 pages of recommendations, awards, etc. that are not from FCPS personnel in your child's current school.

You do not need to get anything from the teachers at the current school.  If a parent refers, the school is required to put together materials for the file.  They will complete the GBRS (you can see this standardized form online with the rest of the screening materials on the FCPS website) and other information for the file.  BUT - I would definitely talk with the school about what they are planning to say about your child and what their assessment of your child is.  [/quote]

Not  the PP you quoted, but just curious.  My AAP coordinator seems a little squirrelly about the whole process and the classroom teacher just referred me to the AAP coordinator.  Should I take that to mean that my child (who is in the screening pool) will not get a recommendation from the school?  My understanding is that I can request a copy of the GBRS after, but can I get anything before?[/quote]
