Who and which grades

Published coverageK-12

02

How students are considered

Published processAnyone, including the student, may refer, and parent permission is required before assessment. The district uses at least three measures, including NNAT3, MAP and a student interview. A district selection committee of at least three trained educators applies the established profile criteria. Written notice follows, and a family may appeal in writing within ten business days through the campus gifted coordinator with additional evidence when appropriate.

03

What service can look like

Published modelGrades K-5 receive differentiated core instruction in an inclusive classroom led by a teacher with 30 hours of gifted training. Secondary students use differentiated core, Honors, AP and dual-credit opportunities; families should confirm the exact identified-subject schedule at the campus.

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.

01Download the current English or Spanish referral form, submit it to the campus and ask which assessment cycle will apply.
02Return parent permission promptly and provide authentic examples of advanced reasoning, achievement and learning needs.
03Ask when NNAT3, MAP and the student interview will occur and whether any additional local evidence will be reviewed.
04Request the full profile and written selection-committee decision, including the result of each measure.
05If appealing, submit the written appeal within ten business days through the campus gifted coordinator and attach relevant additional evidence.
06After placement, confirm the K-5 trained-teacher classroom plan or the student's exact secondary differentiated, Honors, AP or dual-credit schedule.
