Hi again,
Thank you Grinity for the Greatschools link. Being able to easily locate schools on the map there, and use the links to the school webpages is a big help.
A re-visit to the school district and the website for the nearest public school reveals no information on early entrance to K or 1st grade. I was sure that I read it was not allowed, or wasn't easy to accomplish, something like that, but I guess I either dreamed that or the info's been removed.
Does anyone have advice on making first contact with the school or the school system about how to work towards getting my son placed into first grade when he's not going to make their age cutoff? There is a GATE program that tests at 2nd grade for placement in 3rd. Would a phone call or email to the GATE office be a good place to start, and ask about early entrance to first grade? Is that the appropriate wording?
Thanks!
