So unbenownst to me, she's already in pre k, they just don't accept the vouchers that the state gives you for free pk. So, I was all freaked out for nothing. Go figure, story of my life. Anyway, so tonight I went to my mothers and more meeting and one of the girls is a teacher here in our county. She told me the rules for testiing up a grade. The districts are totally inflexible about allowing kids into pre k and k without them meeting the 4 years old by sept 1st cutoff. However, if the child has been in private prek and kindergarten, they can test into first grade. Good to know. -------------------- Cary

But, she goes to a private school. I'm not sure the public schools around here do that. What a relief for you to find that out though.

Mmmm. Ice cream! Group: Moderators Posts: 11,773 Member No.: 69 Joined: 31-March 03	Wow! I wonder if that is just for your county or school system. You can't test up until 2nd grade here. That's great that she's doing the pre-k thing now too! -------------------- The Administrators of the Parenting Club take violators of the Terms of Service Agreement seriously.

O's school will let you test out of 1st grade, too, depending on how Kindergarten year end assessment goes. It's only happened twice in 10 years, though, in her school (and I doubt O will be the 3rd! ) -------------------- Cheryl, Olivia's mom

Saves a lot of stress since you obviously already like your dcp. -------------------- Dee Dee , Mommy to: Ashley Marie 9/05/02 Joshua Lee 2/03/00 (Our Angel in Heaven)
