I have usually let the teachers spend a week or two with my child before I approach them. I do think you need to talk with the teacher about it. But my experience is many teachers are so busy getting to know their new students in the first week that this information can go in one ear and out the other. When you bring it up, perhaps it would work better to explain that your DD is 2E thus emphasizing the gifted with ADHD and the challenges. And if the teacher doesn't understand the label, you can education them.
I have to think about this issue myself. But as I'm dealing with H.S. there are 5 teachers to communicate with it's a bit more complicated than a inattentive ADHD diagnosis. Plus I'm sitting on pins & needles waiting for the full report that I'm expecting to get anytime now.
