Thanks guys! We have orientation tomorrow w/the Magnet school and I have a list of questions for them already, hah!

@Grinity - Last year was sooo frustrating due to the way the school was setup. The teacher and all the administration were all amazingly nice and understanding and they all agreed DS knew all the require academic material, but still nothing was done! The only thing anyone would focus on was his behavior.

@TX G Mom - Apparently they can use it in beginning 3rd as well? Perhaps they only use it to test kids who were behind previously? I know he'll take the STAAR tests this year (woo! tests on stuff he's already known for over a year.)

@oncegifted - That's how the DIBELS was meant to be used as well, but they still sort-of used it to determine reading level... although, if the kids were more than like half a grade level ahead they were S.O.L.
