What is the gifted program like and when does it start? Has your child had an IQ test?

My children are not profoundly gifted, but neither is skipped. DD is not a good skip candidate due to emotional immaturity and anxiety/depression. DS IS a good skip candidate, but for right now we are not skipping him, and we probably will not do so, although it is not off the table. Their respective schools brought up skipping for both of them (for DD, it was discussed as "Many people would want to skip her, BUT..."; for DS it was lightly suggested and we nixed it). However, we are fortunate to have a full-day public gifted school available to us so this is much less of an issue than it would be for others. (School starts in gr 2, so our kids have to deal with school for K and 1.)
