OK, here's the new news...DS6 teacher told me today that she called the district & they told her that if testing was requested by a parent, they had to follow through. Also, a parent could request this test & evaluation every year if they wanted.
On the otherhand, if a teacher saw giftedness in a child, they could not test until 3rd grade.
I received the packet to give the teacher...of course, I had to peek inside & see what it contained! It is not the "huge" packet of work that she had told me it would be. It is 4-5 pages of questions about his behavior & academics.
I will give it to her this afternoon.
Our meeting is set for 10/9.
