The IAS is a checklist for organizing and analyzing existing data, rather than a direct test. If all of the data are available, it should not take more than a few minutes to complete, and maybe one meeting with school staff to discuss.
In your place, I think I would discuss the WJIV that you have with the school first, and see if that's enough. It covers both the grade-level and above-grade-level achievement testing portions of the IAS, if you can have the psych re-score it using the target grade (so in this case, using grade 7 norms). Of the three scoring sections of the IAS (IV, V, VI), only IV is affected by IQ testing, adding between 2 and 6 points. V & VI can be covered with a single WJIV administration. It is quite possible that the achievement testing you already have will be sufficient to meet the cut score on the IAS, or that if it is only a couple of points away, that it will persuade the school to expedite the cognitive assessment. They may have staff available to do testing in the summer. Can't hurt to ask.
