Good luck! My ds was bored in Kindergarten as well. He did get into the gifted program but not until Feburary and then it was only 35 min a week. More of a joke than anything b/c he was missing classes like Spanish and computers and he really enjoyed those classes and was learning new things.
Our school district doesn't have a gifted classroom. We requested he be moved up to 1st even through at the time I was subbing for the school and knew he could handle 2nd/3rd grade work. They told us he was right were he needed to be and wouldn't move him up. He was label a disipline problem and even got suspended from school for one day b/c of disipline issues. Suspended from school in Kindergarten and they didn't see a problem?
We let him stay in Kindergarten for the year and then homeschooled him the next. Big mistake in leaving him in. His attitude just got worst throughout the year. His behavior at home become was terrible. Now that he is at home and getting material on his level his behavior is great.
So, Good luck!
