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.

01Ask when the child's grade will be screened and request the current K-6 identification matrix before decisions are made.
02Gather SAGES, grade-level ELA and mathematics, standards-based report-card, DRA, performance, and teacher evidence that applies.
03If preliminary screens miss the child, ask the teacher to submit the additional-screening nomination described by the district.
04Document behavioral characteristics, interests, and work products that may support inclusive committee consideration.
05If denied, ask for the evidence used and contact the curriculum director when new benchmark or standardized scores become available.
06For Grades 7-12, map Honors and AP prerequisites early and confirm the course-recommendation timeline with counseling.
Add reminders and a personalized plan
