Hope this helps.

Is this from a reliable source?


If true, this is a much huger change than the other (NNAT not counting toward pool placement). Far,far fewer kids will land in the pool. Please provide source.

If I were a parent in doubt about the pool, I would simply prepare a parent referral. Then there is no question whether the NNAT II (given in 2nd grade) would be considered for the pool.

Parent referral forms are on the FCPS website:

What is the situation surrounding this child?
Is the child a second grader, new to FCPS this year?

I am not sure so sure about this reply. I was told that NNAT scores ( if administered in 2nd grade) would NOT be considered for admission to the pool. However, NNAT scores can be submitted as part of the AAP package.



Wow, that would be counter to what is on the FCPS website.

No letter here either. We did get a phone call from the assistant principal but I have no idea about CogAT scores. We were told both letters would be going out this week. (Not sure what happens if school is delayed - maybe the letters get delayed by a day? No idea.)
