ADVANCED LEARNER TESTING – 2019-2020

October 1, 2019 by D. Bennett

The testing window for placement in Granite School District’s Advanced Learner Program is October 7th – December 10th, 2019 for grades 3-6 and January 6th – March 10th, 2020 for grades K-2. 

Testing for Silver Hills for grades 3^rd through 6^th will occur on Thursday, November 7^th, 2019.  A testing date has not been scheduled for K-2 grades which will be after Winter Break. 

It is not necessary to have your child tested every year; however, children who want to be considered for a placement in a third grade advanced learner class must be tested in second grade.  Students in grades K-5, who would like to be considered for the Advanced Learning Center program, must participate this year in the assessments at our school. 

In addition, sixth graders interested in taking gifted classes in junior high/middle school must also be tested.  It is not necessary for 6^th graders registering for honors classes to be tested.  (Students in grades 1st – 5^th that took the Advanced Learner test last school year will not be able to be tested this school year, unless they were a one-year placement). 

If you would like your child to participate in the Advanced Learner testing   (K-6), you must come to the office between Oct. 7th – 18th to obtain a parent permission to test form. No forms can be sent home with students. These reports are due to the office by Wed., October 18, 2019.  Late parent permission to test form will not be accepted after this date.
