Screening

• The school counselor completes a screening packet and sends the packet to the gifted office.

• A gifted teacher will arrange a time with the parent of the student to administer a screening assessment which measures aptitude.

• The screening assessment will be administered at the student’s homebased school or at a school gifted resource center site.

• The parent will be notified within two weeks by letter from the gifted office stating whether the child met the criteria to qualify for further testing.

• The screening assessment will not need to be given if the student scored a 98% in total reading and 94% or greater in the other on a nationally normed achievement test administered within a year’s date of the time referred.
