Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy Approaching school for more subject acceleration

I am in the process of approaching DS' school for more subject acceleration and have an "etiquette" (for lack of a better word) question. Unfortunately, the vice principal who was in charge of this area and handled the last acceleration in 2nd grade is no longer with the school. I have the option of emailing the principal and one of the other vice principals (both of whom I know but who has not dealt with DS' acceleration issues) or emailing the replacement vice principal. Who would you contact first?

I just realized that I also have a direct line to the district's gifted specialists since two of them came to the school to assesed DS' ability after he passed the school's achievement assessment for 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade math. I am thinking about emailing them diretly (to get more ideas, etc.), but I don't want to look like I am jumping the gun since technically they normally don't get involved until the school's hurdle has been passed. I also don't want to look like I am stepping on the school adminstration's toes. What would you do?
