Great news!

Thank you!
You know...while reading many postings. I was wondering why so many different tests was being administered. I thought maybe I was on the wrong web-site . Everytime I read a posting I wasn't sure if ds9 was even on the same level as these kids are . I couldn't understand why he wasn't administered the same evaluations as the others. (at least the common one) But.. as I kept reading I found out that it is many different kinds of tests that can be administered . I guess it depends on your district? or state?.
By the way, you can tell I am new to this process. LOL

Congrats! and good luck. Keep us posted on how the GT program works out!
