Identification Process
Identification Process
Did you know that Vallivue accepts parent recommendations for students in 4th and 5th grade to be tested? When a parent referral comes in, the process begins with data collection. The GT team and the teacher will compile test scores and performance examples to determine if the student is a potential candidate. It is recommended that parents work with your child's homeroom teacher to start the process. Teacher input is valuable because he/she sees children's strengths in comparison to peers. Below you will see the standard process for referrals.
Pretests & academic performance in class
Will your child be able to keep up in their homeroom class and miss 20% of class time while attending the GT class?
