As of today, dd8 has been placed in the gifted program. She was very excited this morning. She has also joined the gifted reading group. I am hoping we get more for math. Right now the pullout is once a week whereas last year it was 2-3 times a week.

I think our principal was a bit surprised to hear that all the second grade gifted kids parents went to our districts open enrollment fair last week to seek out other opportunities. From what another mom told me.. it lit a fire under his ass to do something to keep these kids at his school. He can't really afford to lose the test scores. That being said, at east one of these kids possibly two, will be at the magnet school next year. We are also looking at private schools.
