OK, here's the new news...DS6 teacher told me today that she called the district & they told her that if testing was requested by a parent, they had to follow through. Also, a parent could request this test & evaluation every year if they wanted.
Well it's weird that a teacher can't request testing until 3rd grade (although the studies say that most teachers are quite bad at spotting giftedness,) I think it's wonderful that if the parents request testing, it must be done!
I guess a teacher could type up a request and ask the parent to sign it - LOL! I basically sign anything that I find in my kid's backpack by reflex.
I'm glad to hear that the form is only a few pages.
I'm sorry that your son has to wait for October. That is such a long time for our littlest young ones. 15 lifetimes, I would estimate.
Love and More Love,
Grinity
