cmguy - yes, that is our goal, that he simply make one year of progress. Part of the reason we ultimately decided to have him tested was that he IS the quiet, well-behaved kiddo who could be missed.
suevv - 2e gifted kiddos are no less gifted and I hope that your school will appropriately challenge your DS, too! Great suggestions, and yes, I DO classroom volunteer whenever I get the chance. I have found it very helpful in the past, and it is also a GREAT way to get to know the teacher better and see her teaching style in action.
