Registration is open to all Northern students in the spring.

All incoming 6th graders are tested in late winter.

According to Naglieri, students who score within the 98th percentile are considered gifted; however, Northern uses local norms to identify gifted students. 

Other measures such as additional standardized scores will be reviewed & considered. External assessments and data points may also be considered.

Once identified, students’ parents are contacted, and students are then invited to enroll in Northern Burlington's Gifted & Talented program.

Students can defer enrollment and enter the program at any time as scheduling permits.
