Thanks so much Grinity. Luckily they have been working with her some...the gifted teacher at our school pulled her out for reading twice per week this year -- and while it wasn't always her teaching (sometimes it was the librarian, I was OK with that!)
So they said she is in the midst of the identification process...a 3 step process she has described to me (in the nicest way possible, while sort of putting me off) and said they will test will they feel fairly certain she'll achieve the score she needs (which is at least 140, as our district is very competitive...we have 3% of the student population testing at that level or above, which I guess the national average is more like 1%?) So, maybe since they seem to be working on it I'll give them until Dec. or so of 1st grade and then start pushing again?
It is so much like a PR campaign with the school, isn't it? I want to make friends but I want to get her what she needs.
