Parents,

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.
