Dear Parents/Guardians:
For families seeking Gifted and Talented (GT) identification and/or placement at a Highly Gifted Magnet Site and would like to have their child tested, you must complete the following nomination form by October 14, 2022.
All nominations received prior to October 15, 2022 will be scheduled for fall testing; responses from October 15, 2022 forward will be scheduled for spring 2023 testing.
The fall testing window will occur at Farrell B. Howell between October 24th-December 2nd. Testing will not be available prior to this window.
Only 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th and 8th grade students are eligible to take this cognitive assessment. During the fall semester, students enrolled in Kindergarten, 2nd grade, and 6th grade are tested with the NNAT as part of the universal screening process; those families do not need to submit this form. We cannot test Pre-K students younger than age 4. If you are interested in ECE services, please contact the ECE Department.
After the deadline closes, I will receive a list of students that submitted the form and your student will be assessed at Howell.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
Sincerely,
Pamela Holloway
Gifted and Talented Teacher/Itinerant
