We sort of need more info as in: which grade he is in now, what he is capable of doing at home (reading, Math), other interests (science, art, writing) and your expectation from school, etc...
And welcome to the world of Gifties in public schools!
First, check the school district's policy on acceleration and grade skipping (especially if he is doing at least 2 grades above level because it is very difficult to advocate if <2 grades and they will come up with excuses like everyone will level of in 3rd grade). Second, try to network and see if there are any other gifties in the school. It is better to advocate as a group than alone and you will find yourself a support group to lean on.
If there is no one else and there is no precedent before your DS, it will be an uphill battle. You should follow up with them after Thanksgiving break. I doubt anything will happen and You may need to meet with the principal. Make sure you have all the info about what can be done in your district and State and IAS (Iowa Acceleration Scale) before the meeting.
Good luck!
