[Captain Rhett Butler]

When do you think we'll get report cards?
The pinnacle grade viewer is down and I'm wanting to know the grades.....

[Hypatia]

Good gravy folks...give the teachers time to get them out. They will be mailed this week.

[lovin life]

I am a teacher at an Elem. school in the county. We just stuffed them today and had them ready to be mailed. So my school, probably the same as most others, will mail either yesterday or today...had to wait on CRCT scores from the county! Just glad to be DONE!!!!!

[yodiggity]

I called today because I forgot to send in an envelope but the lady in the office said they were mailing this week.

[NC-17]

crap. I sent no envelope.


I 'spose I'll never know if my kid passed.

[B Moncrief]

crap. I sent no envelope.


I 'spose I'll never know if my kid passed.

I forgot my envelope's too. You can pick them up at the school.

[Lady Raider]

They should all be mailed out by Friday..

if you have a child that went to EPHS.. they are mailing them all out regardless if you sent an envelope or not..

[yodiggity]

yea, they said they didn't request envelopes this year so they're sending everyone's.

[NC-17]

I forgot my envelope's too. You can pick them up at the school.

pretty sure he passed. they gave him one of them diploma thingies.

Does anyone know of schools not making AYP? Heard some rumors...checked state site, last years still up....if I am right, it will be the one that I figured.....

Summer retakes will count towards AYP, so they won't get that info until after June.

[smy34]

You seem optimistic...and maybe you are....but after the botched CRCT and other things...I really will be interested...

In what? AYP status?

Bah AYP status means so little anyway. This year it's just clear to everyone else

[workingforaliving]

pretty sure he passed. they gave him one of them diploma thingies.

They give those to everyone who shows up in a dress and top hat

Summer retakes will count towards AYP, so they won't get that info until after June.

I've always wondered about that....but there wasn't ever anyone around to ask on the days I wondered.

[PsychoMom]

pretty sure he passed. they gave him one of them diploma thingies.

You made me giggle!

[justagirl]

my daughter got hers today.

[hornetmom]

Got my daughter's from sphs today too.

[ValentineBaby]

Got our today...But I feel we have a mistake...she is a kindergartner and 1st 2nd and 3rd quater she knew her left and right then on the 4th Q it said U "not Mastered" she has known her left and right since before pre-K. I am not stressing over it that U sticks out like a soar thumb on a perfect S across the board report card. Should call her teacher and question it or let it go ?????

[Oh No Its Me]

Let it go, its only K.....

[CRR]

I called PCHS today. They said theirs will be mailed next week.

[*~LisaG~*]

My brother goes to South Paulding High and he got his yesterday

[busymomof3]

I got a recorded message, from SPMS, stating theirs were mailed yesterday....they should be in soon. I called Allgood to see when their's would be ready for pick up and was told next Monday at the earliest.

[momnteacher]

The information concerning AYP will not be up for a while.
I'm almost 100% sure that summe scores go towards AYP.

DMS students were asked to bring in a $1 to cover the envelope and postage.

If you forgot to send that in, you can go pick it up at the school. Every school is holding summer school so someone is sure to be there starting next week.

[Southern Born]

I wonder if Hiram HS have mailed there's yet?

[Luvs2Read]

I got my son's report card today. He goes to HJMS. He made all a's and b's. He really struggled in math this year (normally his best subject) but managed to make a "b" for the year. He also did really well on the crct. PCHS here we come.

Busymomof3-- I work at Allgood and the report cards are ready for pick up now. Someone will be at the school tomorrow from 8:00 - 3:30/4:00.

Mine is at HJMS, too and his came as well. All A's--all exceeds on CRCT. No surprises there.

I wonder if Hiram HS have mailed there's yet?

I believe they were mailing theirs today--the teachers had to wait for the county to work out some kinks with the new system. Those should start arriving tomorrow or Sat at the latest, I would think.

[Jetasmom]

Son got his yesterday SPHS. I guess he made into the tenth. That part wasn't marked....His grades were good enough though.

Still waiting on two more.

[Caped Crusader]

No Surprises here!

Talked with the Principal twice last week and again yesterday. She was kind enough to keep me posted
on my Boy's grades since pinnacle was shut down.

I have friends who work in in PC, and there was a problem printing transcripts from the new system--Infinite Campus. Teachers couldn't count credits to mark promotion/ retention. If he was a freshman and has at least 4 credits, he'll be a sophomore next year.

[Hairazor]

Got my daughters today. All A's! And her CRCT was off the charts
Maybe I should start drama by asking......Why the he** she didn't test into Venture

They have to meet in 3 of 4 categories...have you had her tested?

[Hairazor]

They have to meet in 3 of 4 categories...have you had her tested?

Yes...she got 3 out of 4. Believe it or not it was creativity that she didn't meet. My little artsy girl! I will have her retested as soon as she is able.

[Bwitchy]

Yes...she got 3 out of 4. Believe it or not it was creativity that she didn't meet. My little artsy girl! I will have her retested as soon as she is able.

If she hit 3 out of 4, then she should have been accepted. I'd talk with the school about it.

ETA: Now I'm wondering if it's 4 out of 5--I still think it's 3 out of 4. I've not taught MS in a long time, so I haven't tested in a while. They're already classified by the time the get to me.

How are gifted students identified?

The definition of students eligible for gifted education services in Georgia may be found in State Board of Education (SBOE) 160-4-2-.38 EDUCATION PROGRAM FOR GIFTED STUDENTS [Code IDDD(2)]:

Gifted Student - a student who demonstrates a high degree of intellectual and/or creative ability(ies), exhibits an exceptionally high degree of motivation, and/or excels in specific academic fields, and who needs special instruction and/or special ancillary services to achieve at levels commensurate with his or her abilities. (SBOE Rule 160-4-2-.38, p. 1)

The eligibility criteria for gifted program placement are also provided in SBOE Rule 160-4-2-.38. The Rule describes the four categories for assessment (mental ability, achievement, creativity, and motivation) and the performance standards that must be achieved in each for a student to become eligible for gifted education services. Once a youngster has been assessed in all four data categories, there are two ways eligibility can be established:

Option 1, the Psychometric Approach:

The student may qualify on the basis of mental ability and achievement assessment results only (regardless of the assessment results in creativity and motivation). In this case the mental ability test score must be a composite or full-scale score. The composite score must be at the 99th percentile for students in grades K-2. The composite score may be at the 96th percentile or higher for students in grades 3-12. In addition, students (grades K-12) must meet at least one of the achievement standards described in the SBOE Rule 160-4-2-.38: 90th percentile Total Reading, 90th percentile Total Math, 90th percentile total achievement test battery, or superior product/performance assessment. No student may qualify on the basis of a mental ability test score alone.

Option 2, the Multiple-Criteria Approach:

The student may qualify by meeting the standards in any three of the four data categories, at least one of which must be on a nationally-normed standardized test. Component scores (e.g., Nonverbal Ability), as well as full scale scores, may be used in the area of mental ability. However, component scores must meet the criteria specified in the Gifted Education Regulations (Pages 7-13).

We believe that these abilities (mental ability, achievement, creativity, and motivation) may be demonstrated in a variety of ways, thus there are assessment options in each of the data categories. We are also committed to the belief that gifted students may be found within any race, ethnicity, gender, economic class, or nationality.

i got 1 today, still waiting on the other one....the "other one" is the one i am worried about

[Hairazor]

If she hit 3 out of 4, then she should have been accepted. I'd talk with the school about it.

Thanks for the info! Either way she missed it by one of the criteria. Her teacher and I were both shocked. By her CRCT score I know that she will get in and will talk to the Venture teacher when school starts. Just want it to happen before she hits MS so she can have kewl teachers!

Yup...all the really kewl teachers are gifted certified.

[Hairazor]

Yup...I loved them all at HJ. I'm not worried, my son tested twice too.

[Georgia Peach Mom]

Maybe it will come with my stimulus check!

No fricking way. Are they using Infinite Campus? I thought that was going to be the cure to all of our Pinnacle ills...
