Tygr, in response to your other comments - any specific info on which few districts are gifted friendly?
Did you do any further testing or were you able to work with what you had from the school? How did that go?
I appreciate the positive vibes. I am fortunate to be able to volunteer weekly at school for an hour or two, help out the teacher, and observe the classroom dynamic. I'm also able to contribute to classroom supplies and have enough flexibility through work to be able to volunteer for some of the special occasions (parties, plays, field trips, etc.). I make sure that my DD always has things at her interest level from home and I try to coordinate with the teacher to determine how she can use those things in the classroom without being disruptive.
We are also currently taking things one year at a time - several other posters on this board advise not looking much more than 6 months to a year ahead, since things change so fast. I hope that things continue to work well for you.
