Barrett Summer ScholarsHappy New Year!
I am currently looking into a summer program at ASU through Barretts's college for our middle school gifted students. As I gather more information I will share it on this website. The Gifted Conference is being held this year on Feb. 3rd, 4th and 5th. Our district has always sent us for two days and had intended to do the same this year. They paid the fee and two days for subs. This year we did not receive the grant we had expected so there is no money to accommodate us this year. If you are able to attend any or part of the conference would you be willing to share what you learn at our next parent meeting? Please let me know. Karen January Gifted Testing

All third grade students were tested for our gifted program in August, and I have now received the students' scores. I have also received scores for those students of other grade levels whose parents requested gifted testing in September. I will be contacting only those parents whose children qualified for the gifted program. To qualify a child must score at or above the 97th percentile in one of these three areas: verbal, nonverbal or quantitative. If your child did not qualify for our gifted program but you'd like to receive his/her scores, please give me a call and I will share them with you.
