My son is starting pre-k 4 at our neighborhood elementary school next year.

He is currently participating in a practice preschool camp at the campus.

I have three questions:

1. Is it appropriate to reach out to the pre k teacher I’ve been emailing with (who also teaches the camp) and ask how it went for him?

2. Is it appropriate to request (gently/ no pressure) that he be in class with a neighborhood friend?

3. Is it appropriate to request A preferred teacher (again, gently)?

For context, I am a school clinician so feel very comfortable communicating with school personnel but don’t know how these types of things are received.

My son is in 2nd grade and his school does CogAT for GT screening in the fall. He starts out all excited and then like 8 minutes later he's asking if we're done yet 😂 I think it's more that he gets mentally tired than anything. We've just been breaking it up instead of trying to finish everything. I found some of the Beestar questions were easy enough to come back to later but are these super short sessions enough?
