Note: To reduce no shows, video appointments are typically scheduled no more than 2 months in advance. We will not set an appointment for more than two months in advance.
After the form is sent, please check your email, including your spam folder, for a response offering an appointment time for confirmation. October-April a response should be received within no more than two or three business days. May-September a response may take as many as 9 or 10 business days. After submitting our form,
a payment page should appear. If you have any questions, please use the contact us options below. Note: During the Video Evaluation call, the parent will share records of the child's learning during the live video call. (Portfolio records are NOT shared in advance for video evaluations.) The child should be present to listen in and/or join in the discussion of the live video call. If you would rather share digital information in advance via emailed photos or scans or a link or such, use our Online/Email option instead. To be billed directly through the Gardiner (aka Family Empowerment Scholarship: Unique Abilities), include the Gardiner ID number in the comments box (above) and then skip the payment window that appears later. OR directly invoice our fee on the FES site and ask us for an invoice that you can upload to the FES site.

For an evaluation via live video call, use the form on this page.
With this option, a video call is scheduled on Zoom, FaceTime, WhatsApp, or Facebook Messenger video. The main purpose of the video call is to share some of your records (aka portfolio). Do not send records in advance unless you want to switch to an online/email evaluation option instead. Each student must be present during the call to hear discussion about the student's progress. The student can participate in the discussion actively or can sit and listen; the video call will be similar to a parent-teacher conference in which the parent is showing off what the child has been learning, while the student soaks in the information. In a hurry?
Use our online/email evaluation rush service form for fastest service. To jump to the head of the line for faster video service, use our rush video form (but online/email evaluation rush service is typically faster). Note: We do not issue refunds if parents double-book with another evaluator. If you start an evaluation with another evaluator, do not schedule a second evaluation, with us, unless willing to pay us. Evaluators can be very busy between May-Sept. Check your email carefully--look in your spam folder--to be sure no communication has been missed.
