Children may be referred on an ongoing basis; based on the following:

·        teacher recommendation,

·        parent/guardian request,

·        others familiar with a student’s potential or performance (e.g., psychologist, guidance counselor, principal, gifted coordinator, community member; and

·        performance on district-wide standardized tests of ability and achievement.

Referral forms are available in all buildings (main office/guidance office) and on the District web site.  Upon receipt of a referral, the District will:

·        secure permission from the parent and/or guardian for testing,

·        schedule the student for assessment; and

·        provide for at least two opportunities a year for assessment.

After assessment for screening/identification:

·        notify parent and/or guardian about the results of any screening or assessment instrument within 30 days; and

·        notify the parent and/or guardian about the appeal procedure.
