Who qulified to have gifted programs is base on the result of C.C.A.T., so if you got a note from school that said your kid can apply the gifted class that means your kid already meet OCDSB primary gifted placement criteria. Right now what you should do is ask the school give you the form to apply the gifted classes, then at the end of this school year (before summer holiday) you will know the result, of course they will arrange the closer school for the kids, if that one is full then they will call you to let you know where still have seat for your kid, then they will let you have one to two weeks to think about the second school. You can still ask them to put your kid's name on the waiting list of the closer school if you don't want your kid go to the second one. Then on next year the school will give you a new form to apply again, same as the first year. The most hardest one for me is you need to give a reason to the school board why you want your kid join the gifted classes, I think this is a stupid question, there is no special reason why we want, they qulified is the only reason, right?
