Hello again,
Thanks Lynn. Beginning of year assessment makes sense. Wonder what type of assessment the teachers are doing and how accurate classroom teachers can measure giftedness...
I read about the upcoming program in the meeting notes that PAGE sent last week (copying it below). If you look into meeting notes in the gifted site, they mention about BOY assessment there.
"5) Providing Kindergarten and 1st grade gifted services is being evaluated for start in Fall 2014; students will be served in their neighborhood school. Further announcements Spring 2014; no action needed at this time."
Our older one went to Clyde Hill Elementary for K and 1st grade and now she is in gifted program in Cherry Crest. We are now looking for a school for younger one(K in fall). He scored very well in IQ test and applying to a few private schools for him. We were not very happy with quality of education in Clyde Hill for K/1, hence looking into private options for younger one. Will keep an eye on this upcoming program too though. Hope they have more information until spring so that we can make a decision on public school vs private school...
