Actually, she was skipped only one year from K to 2nd grade. By this I mean that she finished K and then went to 2nd, skipping 1st grade. If I recall correctly, she would still be allowed to skip one more year based on her birth date.<br /><br />Second, on the question of my daughter's school. She attends Hancock Park Elementary. Ms. Ashley Parker is the principal. I am aware of two kids who skipped from 1st grade this year. My daughter and one of her friends.<br /><br />Email me at PabloAPerezFernandez@gmail.com with your email address if you want the LAUSD Board of Education documents where the rules for grade skipping are detailed. I will even point out for you the pertinent sections.Pablo A.

If they deem your kid is ready to skip, they can allow it even if it violates the age limits. An LAUSD officer explained to me that the district views these age limits as a guide more than a law. That is not the way they read to me from the board of education's documents, but that is what LAUSD has communicated to me.<br /><br />- pabloPablo A.

I'd be curious.<br /><br />What school is this in? I'd love to know for my own children! Thanks.<br /><br />RebekkaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
