When can my child be tested? • Students in grades 4-6 can be tested throughout the school year as needed. The specialist can only test after receiving permission from a parent for testing. In grades 3, 7 and 8, there are two testing weeks per school year. Last year, those occurred in September and April. • In grades K-2, students are not tested for the Extended Learning
Program. In grades 1 and 2, your child may be invited to participate in an enrichment class. You would be asked to sign a paper stating your child may be pulled from the regular education classroom for these services and that this does not mean formal placement into the Extended Learning Program. • In grade 3, the school district screens all students for the Extended Learning Program. This screening takes place during district specified weeks. The first screening is in the first quarter of the school year. For students who are not present during the first screening week, a second
opportunity will occur for one week in the last quarter of the school year. Last year, the testing took place in September and April. Parents will receive the results of testing in the mail, or during parent teacher conferences if testing falls the week prior to conferences. The specialist in your child’s building is available to answer any questions you might have about the test. If your child is home or private schooled and you want your child screened, you are responsible for contacting the specialist and for providing transportation to and from testing. • In grades 4 - 6, students are tested
throughout the school year as they are referred. Testing takes place soon after the parent returns a signed form giving the specialist permission to test. You will be notified of the results as soon as possible after testing takes place. • Testing in middle school will take place during a district-specified week in the first quarter of the school year, and again during a district specified week in the last quarter of the school year. Last year, the dates were in September and April. The school will send out notification to parents prior Please see EXTENDED, Page 10
