some smaller schools may see it as an attack if a group of parents approaches them. Our gifted school here specifically kept mentioning that they didn't want "gate mom gossip". They didn't want us complaining to each other about what our kids were not getting.
You need to be careful that it doesn't get the school all uppity and on the defensive.
Perhaps you could form a support group, and get the school's approval for that. Have as one of your goals/aims the two-way communication with the school to meet every child's individual needs. The school may see this as a way you are trying to help all parents and support you that way.
However, I do agree that if its a gifted school they should be doing IEP's and differentiated learning anyways. Unfortunately a lot of gifted schools are really great higher up from 3rd grade onwards, and cater really well for MG kids, but in the pre schools esp, IMO they don't differentiate, they try and form the kids into easily teachable groups instead of going on personal development. you should also check if the pre school teachers are more focused on pre school teaching or gifted ID and teaching. that was our problem too. The more mainstream qualified the teachers were, the larger our issues became.
