My kid is above cutoff for both NNAT & COGAT, Does well on the school reports? I have also scheduled WISC as a Back up for what ifs?

I dont know if she will get a good GBRS coz Teacher was on maternity and I dont have a good vibe about AART? AART declined to provide info on GBRS?


A sample letter would not help because the letter needs to be very specific for the child. Think about your child, your child's personality, and how your child learns best. Give examples of how the regular classroom has not met your child's needs- what aspects of your child's personality will make it difficult for your child to learn in the regular classroom.

Good luck to your child!

Hoping my daughter does get in on the first round

My daughter does score well on report cards, all 4's from 1st-2nd grade on math, language arts, science and social with a rare 3 may be one time. I don't know what justifies that kids needs are not met in Gen ed class room?

Any thoughts on what really goes on in the appeal letter to justify the need for AAP class will be appreciated!!



Although you're not asking what's your chance, the following questions do help to know whether you will make it on the first round: What's your scores? Did you get above grade level on report cards? What's DRA level?

What should be on the appeals letter really depends on where your daughter is at academically and socially and what's her needs and what services and help your school can and cannot provide.

Starting point is - Think about her experience in ged ed classroom and things that you think she will need to flourish for the next several years.

If both of the scores are above cut off, you should be in. Good luck. You can get a lot of information going through some of the previous posts about appeals.
