Well that didn't take long. The response to my meeting request was an unequivocal 'no' to a skip. Apparently DD6 is in exactly the right place in every way, including academically, and they've oodles of gifted kids for whom they differentiate brilliantly in the classroom. All that without having seen the test results they know I have. Glad I didn't send the report, because now I really do want to see their faces when they see her achievement scores. We will meet right before school starts (planning ahead is so passe). Plan B is to propose a gradual skip with grades 1 and 2 completed over the year in the grade 1 classroom. Any tips on either advocating for such a thing or managing it on the ground if they agree?
