I hope you were able to meet with your child's teacher and discuss their progress so far for the 1st trimester.    Maybe your child is doing great and meeting standards or maybe your child has some areas to work on.  Either way, there is alot to be proud of!  Look for the positives and celebrate the successes your child has!  A report card is just one glimpse of your child.   I really enjoyed the conferences I was able to sit in on.  

This month we have been focusing on Gratitude.  Each day, I have been sharing gratitude quotes and giving students different "gratitude challenges".  Some of those included: help a neighbor, call a family member you are thankful for, and end the day sharing one positive thing.  

I hope that you all have  a restful week off.  We are excited to take a break and have some dedicated time to rest and recharge.  

I am very thankful to be here at Bringhurst Elementary. I am so grateful to work with the best educators, caring and supportive families and the most talented students!   I know I speak for the entire Bringhurst Staff, we wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Mrs. Johanna White

Fremont Unified School District (FUSD) provides support for gifted and talented (GATE) students through differentiated instruction. We believe that differentiated instruction not only serves the needs of our exceptional students, but also enhances the entire educational program for all students.

In February of 2020, funding for the CogAT testing was cut as part of the budget savings. While the CogAT testing has been the primary means of qualifying students for GATE identification we are now in the process of identifying an alternative way of identifying students. There will not be a test for GATE eligibility given this year. We are currently revising the GATE identification process and handbook. FUSD will have an update by Spring 2023.

During the 2022/2023 school year we will continue to identify 5th and 6th grade students who were not identified in an earlier grade. These students may be considered for GATE identification through the professional judgement process. Teachers and/or parents may nominate a student. A completed nomination form must be submitted by the teacher or parent to the school Principal by December 15, 2022. Principals will set up meetings with the teacher, student, and parent to discuss the student’s eligibility for GATE identification. In June 2023, parents, teachers, and students who applied for professional judgement will be informed of their child’s GATE eligibility.

Fremont 聯合學區 (FUSD) 為資優 (GATE) 學生提供區別教學 。 我們相信區別教學不只滿足本校傑出學生的需要 ， 也提高了給所有學生的整體教育計劃 。  

2020 年 2 月， CogAT 測驗的資金因為節省預算而刪減。 CogAT 測驗一直是鑑定 GATE 合格學生的主要工具，我們正在尋找另一個識別學生的替代方法。今年將不會進行 GATE 資格測驗。我們正在修改 GATE 鑑定程序和手冊 將於 2023 年春季完成更新。

在 2022/2023 學年期間，我們將繼續鑑定 較早年級沒有被鑑定 的五年級和六年級學生。這些學生可經由專業評判程序被識別為 GATE 資格。 老師 和 /或 家長 可以推薦學生。填妥的推薦表格必須由老師或家長於 20 22 年 12 月 15 日 之前送交學校校長。校長將安排與老師，學生和家長會面，討論學生 GATE 的識別資格。申請專業評判的家長，老師和學生將於 202 3 年 6 月 收到他們孩子的 GATE 資格。
