This worried me, so I called back to the main county office to find out their 'age restrictions' on transferring students, and after grade K, they do not have any age restrictions on the grades.
Good luck and good for you for calling the main county office. Perhaps getting it in writing from them, and then adding your own written request is a good way to go?
Somehow you DD's behavior at Kindy screening reminds me of a DS14 story.
We did the Kindy eval, and it was a large year, so they were looking hard for kids to encourage to take another year in preschool, but I was working full time and really looking to reduce that weekly preschool check. (That is where my head was at at the time.)
After the whole dance, we stopped in to visit with a family friend who worked in the school, and DS explored her room in detail. FF observed: Well, he sure looks ready for kindergarden!
I shot back: I think he's ready to
teach kindergarden.
Everyone laughed.
I can't remember what it was that DS was doing that prompted me to make that offhand comment, but all the adults did laugh, so it must have been something. At the time I was sure DS wasn't anything more than bright because he wasn't reading yet. And reading is what gifted kids in my bio family did. Ha Ha on me! Little did I know what was in store...
Love and More Love,
Grinity
