Thank you all so much for your good advice. I especially think it is a good point about contacting the school now before teachers are selected, although unfortunately in my case there will be only one kindy teacher (teaching an am and pm section). Our district doesn't provide any GT pullouts, but claims to provide differentiation in clusters and possibly some acceleration, although through the grapevine I've heard the latter doesn't really happen...
St Pauli Girl, thanks for all those interesting details. Especially intriguing the advice to skip 1st grade, rather than K. That makes a lot of sense to me, given DD's social development not keeping pace with academics.
Thank you all for psyching me up to be that parent (politely!), despite my inclinations. I'll come back and let you know what I learn--crossing fingers that we won't get the dismissive, negative run around some of you have encountered.
