Who and which grades
Published coverageK-12
How students are considered
Published processA parent, teacher, student or other knowledgeable person may refer a student at any time. A school committee reviews multiple measures, obtains parent consent when additional evaluation is needed, and communicates the placement determination in writing. The district states that families may submit a written appeal of the decision.
What service can look like
Published modelThe district provides K-2 enrichment and differentiated learning, elementary and middle-grade gifted options matched to identified needs, and secondary individualized opportunities. Placement is reviewed annually so the program can respond to changing academic and social-emotional needs.
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.
01Start with the district overview and the grade-band page that applies to the child.
02Ask the teacher or principal for the current written referral and consent instructions; a referral may be made at any time.
03Share authentic evidence across more than one area, such as classroom performance, work samples, advanced reasoning, creativity, or sustained interest.
04Request the written placement decision and ask which specific service, schedule, and annual-review expectations apply.
05If the decision does not address the child's evidence or needs, use the district's written placement-appeal route promptly.
