How students are considered
Published processReferrals go to the principal or district designee and require family permission before individual assessment. The team collects culturally fair qualitative and quantitative evidence from multiple sources, including intellectual ability, achievement, behaviors, demonstrated performance, work, interviews, and assessments. Local placement is decided by a team, families receive written notice, and an appeal route is available.
What service can look like
Published modelAn Advanced Learning Plan is created within 30 school days after identification and updated annually with family and student input. Depending on need and local resources, services may include advanced classes, curriculum compacting, differentiation, rapid pacing, mentoring, social-emotional support, targeted services, and subject or grade acceleration.
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.
01Send a written referral to the principal or Arickaree gifted coordinator; a student may also self-nominate.
02Return written permission for assessment and ask which evidence the screening team plans to collect.
03Provide work samples, achievement history, observations, accomplishments, and information about academic and social-emotional needs.
04Request the written team decision and use the published appeal route if the evidence was overlooked or misinterpreted.
05If identified, participate in the ALP meeting within 30 school days and verify the academic, affective, programming, and progress-monitoring commitments.
