How students are considered
Published processThe current district page links indicators, assessment information, the referral and placement process, and a parent nomination form. Those resources establish the parent entry route, but the public page does not expose one numeric cutoff or current decision calendar in text. Families should submit the nomination and request the exact multiple-evidence rubric, consent steps, and next committee date.
What service can look like
Published modelK-3 students use whole-group enrichment. Grades 4-5 use pullout or small-group instruction. Grades 6-7 use an activity period. Grades 8-12 may use Pre-AP and AP courses plus enrichment period or W.O.L.F. The district publishes separate facilitators for primary, elementary, middle, junior-high, and high-school services.
Your starting checklist
Turn the published process into clear next steps.
Confirm current instructions with the district before submitting. Bloomfield does not predict placement or reproduce protected assessments.
01Open the district's GT Parent Nomination resource and contact the coordinator to confirm the current submission method.
02Request the GT Referral and Placement Process, assessment list, consent requirements, numeric criteria if any, and next committee date.
03Provide examples aligned to the district's published GT indicators plus available academic, ability, creativity, motivation, and work-sample evidence.
04After a decision, request the written placement result and verify the actual service assigned for the student's grade band.
05Before Grade 8 and high-school registration, compare Pre-AP, AP, enrichment period, and W.O.L.F. options against the student's readiness and interests.
