I brought in print outs of information from the state department of education on the guidelines for gifted identification and even the above grade-level testing

I found a page with traits of gifted children for the states gifted children organization and brought that as well. Just in case they wanted to question my DS quirkiness:)

I did not ask for a skip, we are very happy with his peer group. I did get acceleration in his core classes.

Good Luck
