Applicable school year: 2026-27. Bloomfield separates official requirements from our preparation guidance.
How students are considered
Published processThe district confirms annual review using multiple measures and maintains separate elementary and middle-school procedures. The linked Google documents are not consistently accessible in public text, so families should request the current measures, thresholds, score matrix, and selection calendar from the program contact.
What service can look like
Published modelThe continuum can include trained-teacher clusters, classroom accommodations, curriculum compacting, tiered instruction, faster pacing, higher-level materials, Renzulli push-in tiers, pull-out with a specialist, competitions, and I&RS matching for academic and social-emotional needs. Middle-school participants meet daily; elementary frequency is not stated publicly.
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 the CST office for the elementary or middle-school screening procedure, multiple-measures matrix, and 2026-27 calendar.
02Request the exact measures, weights, comparison group, thresholds, and any teacher or parent referral form.
03Provide concise examples of advanced pace, reasoning, academic performance, creativity, and any social-emotional need connected to placement.
04Request the measure-by-measure score profile and written selection decision.
05If eligible, identify the actual service combination and frequency rather than assuming every item in the continuum applies.
06For an alleged compliance failure, follow the district's linked public-complaint policy and state the specific missing process.
