Please note our STAAR testing dates below. On testing days, Glenhope is closed to visitors so please keep that in mind. Additionally, we would appreciate you not scheduling any appointments on these days, as students will have to miss class time during the testing window to make up the STAAR testing they missed. If they miss a STAAR exam, they will have to spend an entire day of school when they return to make that test up.
Please make sure Chromebooks are fully charged on these days. Also, please send the chargers to school just in case.

"It is important to emphasize that not all gifted or highly gifted individuals have overexcitabilities. However we do find more people with OEs in the gifted population than in the average population."
- Sharon Lind (with SENG)
Are you aware of overexcitabilities? We have been teaching students about them and how to identify theirs (if they have any). Read more below:
