Thanks MON. I am thinking that I will just go ahead and ask for the acceleration eval. which will include the testing. It is just different than with older dd b/c this kid is quirky and I feel like she could be anywhere from MG to PG and I have no idea how she will test and I know her teacher will think I am pushy and ridiculous...but the assistant principal is very supportive and understands why I would make the request. If by any chance she turns out to be a good candidate for acceleration it would be good to know now.
