Yup, people forget all about those early skips. It'll be a minor curiosity come birthday-time. :-)
LOL--nice, Kriston. :-D
OP--yes, it's very common for there to be no policy. Our district claimed to use a specific tool to evaluate kids for a skip, but violated their own rules and did the process wrong (on purpose, I belive, so they could deny ds6 a grade skip).
The tool they claimed to use is the Iowa Acceleration Scale --are you familiar with this? It's a set of questions that basically rank whether a child is a good skip candidate or not. We got our own copy of the manual (which is really all you need) for $30 on Amazon. I highly recommend it if you're considering a grade skip -- I'd even say you should bring it up with your school district.
Welcome!
